Today was finally the last day of Spring Soccer. After several rainouts and rescheduled games, Alex had a 8am game and Sam a 1pm game. Alex played his old team and they played to a tie, first time that team didn’t win all season. Alex has once again improved greatly over the last few months – much more aggressive and going after the ball. It also helped that he was once again healthy today – no cold or allergies. The coaches on both teams asked Alex to come back and play next year. Of course he wants to play in the Fall too, even though he will be playing for Trinity as well.
Sam’s team forfeited their game as they only had 5 players and no coach. Apparently most of the kids and probably the coach were out of town as it is spring break for the public schools. The teams decided to go ahead and scrimmage and Sam’s team picked up a bunch of other players, including Alex as he still had on his uniform. First time Alex and Sam has played on the same team. Maybe in a couple of years Sam will play for Trinity and they will be on the same team again. 🙂
