The Game in Pictures

Tuesday night’s game in pictures.

I love how he still plays with his tongue out like he did when he was five! 

Our keeper missed a PK shot that was awarded after Evan was called for a foul (horrible call) in the box. Keagan went straight to him, patted him on the back, and encouraged him to keep his head high. This! This is what I love most about sports. Teamwork. Brotherhood. Selflessness.



Seeing this picture of them playing together makes me miss last year something awful. I was robbed of so many memories that could have been. 

This may be my favorite shot. Keagan dropped back so Evan could carry the ball. 

Evan can head the ball like no one else. 

Oh, happy night! Senior recognition and a big win! I wish I had a picture of Evan celebrating the win!

Game Time

Finally! After two rainouts this week, the high school team was able to play today on a turf field. I have been anticipating this for so long, and after last year’s abrupt end to the season, I am so excited to finally watch both boys on the field together. Thunder and Lightening are back together. Keagan plays CDM and Evan plays CB. 

Someone today asked which two were the brothers. I pointed them out, and she said, “Oh, I get it now. One looks like the mom and one looks like the dad.” But sometimes their mannerisms and the sound of their voices are very similar. Case in point. Both are dishing out advice to the ref just making sure he didn’t miss anything. 

But today was not our day. It was our first chance to play together, and it showed. We lost both games pretty badly. I hope we can put something together before next week’s district game. 

The highlight was catching up with our travel team friends. 

Let’s hope the boys can string something together, the coach can create a new lineup, or the parents can drum up a miracle in the next two days. We need something to happen before our next game.
