Soccer from Sept 21

I spent most of Saturday watching Luke and Naomi's game, so all the pictures are from their game this week.

Soccer pictures for the year

Last year I forgot and didn't get pictures until the very last game, when the kids were wearing coats and mittens!

 

And one last bonus, from the first week when everyone's game was rained out, so we invited all the church kids in the league to meet at the park that afternoon.

Today's soccer highlights!

Ethan (red socks) took a turn in goal; his team said he was their best goalie!
Both Abbey (blue socks) and Ethan go after the ball aggressively.
Isaac (black socks and black shorts) got his first goal ever today!
And his second (with an assist from the other team)

Soccer Show!

Highlight reels from yesterday's games! Naomi and Luke in pink shirts (Naomi: pink socks, Luke: lime green socks). Abbey and Ethan in light blue shirts with blue socks and red socks.


 

Baseball tournament #3

Ethan's team resumed their rain-interrupted game and kept the pressure up.  With that win, they moved on to the championship game!  To be champion, they had to win twice against their undefeated opponents.  They played well but lost 12-5.

That was enough for 2nd place, though!

Baseball Tournament #2

Ethan's team lost last Friday, but it is double-elimination so they have to lose twice for their season to be over.  Last night they played in the semi-final: if they win they go to the championship game (but have to win twice there).  The game was rained out in the bottom of the 4th, when Ethan & Co. were up 11-6.  The game restarts tonight, followed immediately by the championship game(s).

Baseball tournament #1

Finally able to get some video of Ethan's game last night.  Second game of the post-season tournament: #1 Red vs. #4 Black (Ethan's team), and Black won, 18-10!  Tense game: they trailed most of the game, although they stayed within 3 or 4 runs.  I think it was in the 4th (of 6) that they went ahead: Ethan batted in the tying run and was himself the go-ahead.
