The MVLA Python teams played with green hair in Manteca last weekend in remembrance of Jonathan, and in recognition of his fun-loving spirit. It is such a tragic loss for his family, and the soccer community is also grieving the loss of one of their bright stars. We really feel for the family in this tragedy that could have happened to any of us who drove home to the south bay that weekend, so I think we all hugged our kids a little tighter and perhaps focused a little less on win or lose, and a little more on the joy of watching our kids play soccer.
Per goal donations from last weekend's games have been sent along to SC Sporting, as well as individual donations from families via the website. Jonathan and the Manzo-Chavez family will be in our thoughts this holiday season.
MVLA Pythons '98.
