LAST SOCCER GAME, Spring 2010

So Cal finished his first seasons with a bang - 3.5 goals (I give him credit for one that was a long straight shot that hit the goal post & bounced off but was quickly tapped in by a teammate) and hustle that wouldn't stop. He was a huge contributor his last few games and seems to have found his focus. By the last game, he stayed with the ball constantly, stole it from the other team, and stayed focused until he scored. Mike had taken over the role of co-coach after our official asst coach flaked out after the first game. He was amazingly patient with the kiddos and incredibly impartial. It was a great start to a long, successful soccer career that we're sure will flourish into a college scholarship. Hey...we can dream. Look for #45 in the dark blue jerseys that mom personally took - true story!

Griffin was also an amazing cheerleader. Despite wanting to be on the field with Cal the whole time, he was awesome at sitting patiently on the sidelines with mom and clapping for the team. He took over the field at half time so Griff could kick the ball around and brush up on his skills. Mostly he enjoyed the snacks and sitting with his friend Logan, the younger brother of Cal's best friend from school and teammate, Brady. They are 4 peas in a pod.
