Posthuma doing it all
http://lang.sgvtribune.com/multimedia/asps/012407_Posthuma.asp
I've been at the Star-News five years, and Nick Posthuma is as talented a forward as I have seen. Great first touch, great finisher, and only a junior. To have 21 goals in 22 games against the level of competition he is facing is very, very impressive.
I would encourage everyone to visit St. Francis next Monday night at 5 p.m., when the Knights take on Loyola for what should be for the Mission League title if the Knights take care of business the rest of the week.

The second coming of Pete Venegas from SF class of 1996, UCLA, La Galaxy.
Nick and my son have been friends since birth. We were in LeMas classes with his parents when both boys were waiting to be hatched. Nick has always been a talent. If he set his mind to play football, basketball or baseball chances are he would excell there as well. What is truly refreshing about Nick is his self-effacing style and his quickness to credit others. We're not at all surprised about "the Posthuma kid" it was almost expected and we are thrilled to see him playing at a high level.
For all you club coaches out there--here's a kid that never played club ball! We're very happy for his family and St. Francis is lucky to have him. Go POST! I tried to claim him as a Finchamp but he's too good looking for anyone to believe it.
