Athlete of the Month: Austin Keeling
By Adam Hill
There are very few athletes that
might be considered a leader. Austin Keeling is a
senior soccer player at Valley Christian High School. Being an ASB
member and a captain on the soccer team are only a few things that
Keeling has done to be known as a leader. Keeling also shows a Christian
like conduct and extreme athletic abilities as he takes on opposing
teams.
Keeling first became interested in the game of soccer at a young age
after watching it on television and having friends around him who
loved the game. As he has grown, he has become closer and closer to
the Lord. David Beckham, a professional soccer player, is one who
Keeling looks up to. After intense year round practicing, Keeling
made varsity as a sophomore and has been starting ever since, and
this year, the team elected him to be one of their captains.
“I think that Austin will be one of the top players in the WCAL this
year,” said Coach John Basanese, “his touch on the
ball is very good, and his shot is about as dangerous as they get.”
Keeling has mastered his trademark shot, called the “fiery dart.”
He has one goal and two assists in his career at Valley as a defensive
midfielder. He has proven time and time again that he can be the man
to trust. Last year, Keeling made the shot of his life against Serra
High School to make it a 1 to 0 game. That game clinched a place in
the CCS playoffs for the team.
Keeling works hard and keeps a positive attitude, along with a Christian-like
attitude. He plays and trains year round, hoping to get his chance
at colleges, such as San Diego State, Santa Barbara, or Cal Poly.

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.

Teacher Survey: Most
Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say "assembly required" can bring those
most memorable Christmas moments.
