Soccer 2010

Wow. I didn't realize how many months we had skipped on this blog. One reason why is soccer. Grant had a great year and turned it on this year. No more silly soccer, which I thought would be his soccer legacy. His first game he scored all of his team's goals and sometimes scored his teams only goals in games. At the same time he would come all the way back on defensive and make a stop, turn the ball around take it back and score while still having time to pick up his teammates and dust the grass off them. He was very concerned about his teammates and how "mean" every other team was at all times.

Andrew's team won 1st place.(8-1) I had a great group of kids that were willing to run. About 4 were 9 years old going on 25 and 6 were 9 years old going on 4. Andrew had a great year creating and scoring his own shots on the goal.(he would always defer to someone else to finish before). He and his teammate Dante of the last 2 years work together seamlessly. One of his favorite moments was when he told me, before the game, that when Dante crosses the ball from the corner across the front of the goal that he would just pop it in the goal off his chest. And then he did!

Grant and his BEST friend Kyle. Grant always had Kyle's back and would run and pick him up when he went down where ever he was.

The Green Pythons went full mustaches and crazy hair for the 4-0 win against the Turquoise team.

I think the other team was a little intimidated by the hair and mustaches(the mustaches didn't stay on very long).
