Career Goals
“Williams is a very good goal-scorer with a nose for the frame. [This year] Williams realized he didn’t need to be the goal scorer and changed roles midway through the season, facilitating the team’s ability to dominate the midfield and allow for the faster, creative players up top to find more success. Hence, they won the state title.”
