Matt Besler surprises Shawnee Mission West soccer team

Matt Besler BlueKC Shawnee Mission Visit

The holidays came early this year for coach Sarah Gonzalez and the Shawnee Mission West High School girls' soccer team. The Vikings, who won a state title last May after finishing their season 20-0-1, received a surprise visit earlier this month from Sporting KC and U.S. Men's National Team defender Matt Besler.


Gonzalez was one of this year's Blue KC Sporting Samaritans, a program sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue of Kansas City to honor those who are making Kansas City a better place.
