After suffering multiple concussions on the football field before high school, Mount Carmel’s Adam Corral decided he needed to give up that sport.

Soccer, though? Corral wasn’t quitting. Instead, he threw all his passion into becoming a top goalkeeper.

“I just stuck with soccer,” Corral said. “I decided I’m done with football. Sometimes, I do miss playing, but I can’t go back. The doctors told me that if I kept playing football and kept taking bad hits, I could die or be disabled for life.

“My love for soccer definitely grew after that.”

A grown-up Corral was brilliant Tuesday night. The senior netminder made seven saves to help the Caravan fight for a 1-1 Catholic League Blue tie against host St. Laurence in Burbank.

Jordan Thomas scored the goal for Mount Carmel (6-5-2, 1-2-2).
