      My name is Joe Primera and I was the goal keeper and the division was tough. I mean played against so many hard and well skilled ever. Also that final gold medal game was amazing , back and forth my team and team Wisconsin . I play for tea...m PA and I think that was the hardest game I ever played. My team scored with two minutes left and then one minute letter team Wisconsin scored on a great shot. We played into too overtime each 5 minutes nobody scored. Then came the goalies worst nightmare witch was penalty shots. I have always hated them. I was good at them but hated them, so far the first 5 shooters for both teams we were tied at 2 a peace. It stayed that way until sudden death penalty shots . With mean 12 shooters my team scored first . I was so happy I thought it was over but I was wrong they had one more shot and it was their best shooter I shaved it and then the crowd went crazy and so did me and my team we went nuts with joy that we won a national gold medal. So that my story of my soccer team wining a gold medal in the hardest division in special Olympics nationals games 2010.

      Thanks for reading my story , please
