BROOKFIELD – When the ball was put into play, both Brookfield and Otselic Valley stopped play and turned to the Vikings goal as both teams and fans stood as placed their right hand over their hearts, paying tribute to the late goalkeeper of OV, Carter Rood. Rood passed away unexpectedly in the early hours Monday, September 11.

Otselic Valley had a game scheduled Monday against Madison but it would be cancelled to allow Rood's teammates to mourn and celebrate their goalie and brother on the field.
