Mason has played Goalie in CCSA REC soccer for several years. Over the last 4 years his teams won the Championship twice and were runners up twice. Since it’s REC soccer, the teams change every season. He’s very modest and does not brag however the coaches consider him a key player and contributor to the teams success. Many consider him the best goalie in his age group. While CCSA does not track exact stats for REC, in the last 3 seasons he’s probably allowed fewest goals and had the most “Clean Sheets” (no goals given up). He follows the professional teams and also likes to play FIFA soccer on XBox.
He’s in 6th grade at Gulf Middle this year. He’s a teacher’s dream in the classroom, getting all A’s, well behaved and helpful to the other students. Mason was on the Elementary National Honor Society and also served as a Patrol Guard. He’s also a bit of a comedian.
At home, when not in sports, he likes to “Chillax” and play Xbox and watch sports on TV. He’s into paintball and has a lot of paintball gear. He also likes to bowl. In the fall he attends all the NFL Bucs games with his Dad. He also likes to travel and goes to his home state of MN a couple times a year.
Fun Facts…
He is 11 years old and very tall for his age – 5’8″+!
He’s the 2nd tallest kid in his grade/school.
He wears Men’s size 14 shoe!
I couldn’t be more proud of the young man that Mason is! I’m blessed to be his Father.
