One year for Christmas, someone gave the Laulusas a decal to put
on the back of the family van. It featured nine soccer balls -
two large ones representing the parents and seven smaller ones
in place of children.  If you've been to Marana High School
girls soccer games, you've probably seen the van. There's been a
Laulusa on the team since 2002.  This fall, 14-year-old Hannah
Laulusa became the fourth-straight sister to make the school's
varsity team as a freshman. Allison was a freshman in 2002,
followed by Elaine two years later and Haley four years after
that.  After Haley graduated this spring, Hannah took over the
tradition.  "It was motivation … to be more like them," said
Hannah, like her sisters, a center-midfielder. "To do my best
and do what they do."
