Brussels U-10 I took on Newton
I, July 22.
Brussels started the scoring with
Cory Chapman passing the ball to
Justin Mayne who kicked it past
the Newton netminder. Before the
first 25 minutes were over, Matt
White took the ball down the field
and scored another point.
The second half was again in
Brussels favour. White returned the
ball to Keisha Bishop who passed it
back. White then passed it to the
other forward Drew Thomas, who
kicked it by the unsuspecting
Newton goalie.
White scored twice more in the
second half and Mayne scored once
more.
The final score was 6-0 for
Brussels.
Netminders for Brussels were
Tate Stephenson and Chapman.
The shutout was made possible by
the great defensive moves of
Garrett Backhaus, Tyler Jutzi,
Candice McLellan, Baylie Thomas
and Mary Aitchison.
The team played a great game
with lots of passing between the
lines, said coach Laurie Chapman.

When we were finished school in
June, my Mom asked me if I would
be interested in making some
money by taking my little sister to
the Junior Summer Recreation
Program at the Ark. I said, "Sure".
Last week I said, "Mom, you don't
need to pay me because I am
having so much fun". Let me tell
you a little bit about it.
July 8 was the first day. It was
titled "Birthday Day" - complete
