Soccer

Brandon's playing soccer.  He made a big leap this year--playing on the big fields and in a league with guys three years older than him.  You know what that means?  Post-growth spurt boys.  They are huge!  The season got off to a rough start.  He lost his first three games.  Bad.  We braced ourselves for a long season.

But this weekend, they WON!  It was a close game, but they pulled off an exciting 5-4 win.  Woo hoo!

It has been fun to see B improve over the course of the season, too.  He started off timid and unsure of himself.  But in the last game, he was aggressive and had some great plays.

Here are some action photos.  He's in the green uniform with the red shorts.

This is the guy Brandon had to defend last game.

He was easily more than a foot taller than B.

But B was unintimidated.

He took it right to the big guy.

And somehow ended up consoling the big guy when it was all done.

We're hoping the momentum has swung in our direction and we'll see some more wins in our future.  But, if nothing else, at least Brandon's getting some good experience as the young guy in this league.
