Gotta follow your shot, kids. Can’t stand there and ball watch. Aaronson is a blue-collar Philly guy and always plays until the whistle.
He’s our guy. The Medford Messi. 20 years old and scoring game-winners against F.C. Barcelona. We’ve come a long way. This ain’t your grandmother’s Delaware Valley when it comes to developing soccer players.
