Casey Black – Mr. Soccer and 5A Champ

The Standard-Examiner today presented their highest award to Casey Black, the Standard Star. You might consider this award similar to an MVP with a different title.

The award included this write-up found in the paper.

“(Our strength) is team unity. We’re really close to each other and that’s a big difference from last year’s team. We all take criticism as a positive, we don’t get down on anybody and we trust each other. I have to give it to my team. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t get the ball (and score)”, – Casey Black on his performance

You’ve seen Casey’s speed – he pulls it out on Northridge just 12 minutes into the game and sinks a goal in the back of the net.

Game ended at 2-0, with Casey scoring both goals for the Davis win.
