Holy Moly! How did soccer season come and go without a little update!?! We had a great fall season. Katry played on a competitive U12 team and we moved Seth up a year to join her. They LOVE playing together. They are an amazing duo! Katry was basically the defense for the team the whole season. She was the STOPPER! The other team rarely had a chance to score when she was on the field. If they did- it was only because she couldn't be in three places at one time. Despite playing defense- she had several assists and even scored a goal- while on defense.
Seth usually played midfield. He had many goals to his credit. Being the youngest on the team didn't slow him down one bit. He was the second fastest on the team- (next to Katry). They were both- without a doubt the MVP's of every single game. Their final game ended in a shoot out. Katry shot first and put it in- then Seth who also scored easily. They went through all the players- some scoring- some not- but still tied with the other team. Then Katry was up to shoot again. She effortlessly shot the ball and scored the winning goal. It was a great finish to a fun season. Way to go Kiddos!
I can't believe I don't have a single picture of Brig playing this year. He really stepped up as a leader of his Junior High team. Dad was the assistant coach. They won every game with the exception on one team(until the tournament). Each time they played this team though- they narrowed in on them. The first game was 2-7. The second w 4-5 and the final game was lost 0-1, they ended up scoring on a penalty shot. Brig carried his team as the leading scorer- he played forward. Their final game of the season. ended in a heart breaking shoot out in the dark. They lost in the semi-finals to a team they had beat handily two other times. Brig's team had about twenty shots on the goal compared to their three. It just so happens that two of their shots went in, and two of ours went in. The sun had long since departed and they had a shoot out by the light of the moon. Brig easily placed the first kick in the shoot out, but another player's shot hit the side bar and it was over. Ahhh- it was a sad day! Its been a few weeks now though- and I think we have recovered from the shocking loss. :)
Brig is wrestling now. He pinned a guy in 12 seconds last night. Katry and Seth have started indoor soccer. Dad is coaching them. The fun continues!
The vision of a champion is someone bent over, drenched in sweat, to a point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching.
