Savanna Yamamoto of Cawston, shown with her “Thompson-Okanagan” (Tommy O’s) U12 girls soccer team at last week’s B.C. Summer Games. The Tommy O’s won their pool with a 3-0 record. Then, in a semi-final the girls faced the “largest” zone, “Vancouver-Squamish”, where some unfortunate bounces cost them the game. But, they still had hope for a medal in what would be the game for third and fourth. In this game they would be facing the Fraser River Delta team, who they had already beaten in their pool play, in what was a very close battle ending 1-0. The race for bronze was tied 0-0 right through to the end of regulation and was eventually decided by penalty shoot-out. The Tommy O’s were up in the shoot-out, but after another goal and a couple misses the Fraser River Delta regained the lead. Then, with one shooter remaining for the Tommy O’s it was Savanna’s turn to shoot; a miss here would result in a loss. “I knew that high shots are easier to grab, so I wanted to shoot it hard and low on the ground” said Savanna, who beat the goalie and kept the team’s hopes alive. After a miss by Fraser River Delta in sudden death, the Tommy O’s next shooter, Payton Freeze, hit a high one which fooled the goalie and gave the Tommy O’s the bronze.
