Our Captain’s Digital Camera

By Sophia Coker

Each click and flash from Rebecca Wong’s (12) digital camera framed our team’s spirit. From our long bus rides to post game dinners and mall runs, our captain’s camera became a silent witness to our journey. It became a staple on our team and was even used to capture the player’s individual pictures for player posts. Rebecca was great at pulling that camera out at the randomest times and catching funny candid moments that accurately represented our team. Not only did the camera capture our fierce determination, but it also snapshotted the friendship, laughter, and ambition that would carry us throughout the ups and downs of the season.  

As the weeks unfolded, the digital camera captured our smiles post tough losses and hard-fought wins. But it wasn’t just about the games, this camera documented our growth beyond the field as well. It caught us together in the cramped van and on the bleachers. It caught team bonding over pizza. It caught our late-night laughs all hanging out in our captains’ hotel room at our KL tournament. 

As our soccer season has come to a pause, Rebecca’s digital camera holds the memories of our journey: the sweat, the laughter, the frustrations. Each photo is a testament to our dedication, unity, and love for the game. Through the camera’s lens, our team’s connection extends far beyond soccer. We aren’t just a team, we are a family, united by our unforgettable memories we have shared and our love for the game. 

When we enter into our spring season of soccer, our captain’s digital camera will continue to document every step of the journey. It will travel with us wherever we go, and capture the determination of our team.
