End of Season Soccer Party

Monday night Darrius' soccer team - The Assassins - had their End of the Season soccer party. The party was held at Fuddrucker's, the boys favorite spot. Personally, I wish they'd find a new restaurant. But I guess it's not about what the parents want. As long as the kids are happy, that's all that matters. Coach Rick handed out the trophies. The trophies were personalized with each player's name. As Coach Rick grabbed a trophy out of the box, we would give a description of the player who the trophy was for and the boys had to guess who it was. Darrius was the last player to receive his trophy. This was D's exact words: "Coach is saving the best for last."  LOL!

The Assassins finished the season 6-0-2. The scored 41 goals and only allowed 7. They had 5 shut outs. It was a spectacular season. They were the division champs! Woo-hoo! It was worth the many Saturdays spent sitting in the drizzle/rain during the games. 
Yet another trophy to add to the collection.

p.s. I need to update the date on my camera.

It's that time of year again

I had a nice long break from sports this summer. I loved having my Saturdays back. Now the break is over. School is back in session and you know what that means - Fall sports! For Darrius, it's soccer. Today was the first game of the season.  The weather sucked. It was overcast, windy and chilly. And the game was at 9am. Thank goodness I could walk to the field from my house. I'm so happy about that! The boys do not like the color of their uniforms; the colors are a little girlie. So to combat the girlie-colored uniforms, they came up with a non-girlie name for their team - The Assassins. They had a great first game. They won 9-2. Darrius scored a goal off a corner kick. I was so proud. The first half of the game he played left mid-fielder. Second half he was a defender. I hope the weather is a little bit better for next week's game. If not, I'll be watching the game from the inside of my car.
