Soccer Studs!

Austin and Erik completed a very successful season in soccer. Erik's team was undefeated, again, and was listed as #1 in in their division! He was on a different team this season, since his team from last year went different ways, though he was still with a few of the other players, including Nilesh, who was the super-fast-speedy-aggressive-unafraid-shorter-than-everyone-else kid. That kid is on fire! The whole team contributed to all their wins, though, and this was their first time playing 7 on 7 with a goalie, so they each got to try out the goalie position as well.

Earlier in the season.


The last game.



Austin's team tied for second place in his division. The team he tied with happens to be the team his two best friends from church are on, so that's exciting for them all. They beat Austin's team and his team came around and beat them the second time. Austin's coach ended up being awarded "Coach of the Season", which is so fitting. Like Erik, Austin was also on a new team, for the same reason as Erik. His coach was new to us too and he was so calm compared to last year's coach, and still got the job done, even leading them to 2nd place! I was so used to last year's coach yelling all the time, that it seemed weird to me that Kevin would speak so quietly and calmly and the players would still respond. I'm so glad he won that award!

Getting ready for the last game.




A lot of winning around here lately with cheer competition and soccer. We're feeling like it was a great season for all!!

A fun sporting event for them occurred at Miller last month with the Fun Run. It's always a great fundraiser and great goal for those kids!
