And the Wins Keep Coming.

Well the kids have played two more weeks worth of soccer games and went 3 - 0. While Brooklyn had a bye week last week Maddux won 10 - 2 with Maddux scoring 9 goals. This week marked the first time this season when the kids played at the same time so I went to Maddux's game as Jennie coached Brooklyns. Maddux won again 9 - 0 with Maddux scoring 7 goals this game. He is just all over the field and usually a lot quicker and more aggressive to the ball. Some times I feel bad for the other kids because they don't have a chance against him. He had one goal this game where he blasted one of the other kids with the ball. The kid would just stay back by the goal and try to kick the ball out when our team got close. Well one time he wasn't quite quick enough and Maddux kicked it as hard as he could and drilled the kid in the side. The ball went in the goal and needless to say he didn't stand there the next time that Maddux came near.


This is Maddux breaking away from the other kids in route to one of his 7 goals.


Here he is getting right in the middle of the action while most of the other kids stand back and watch.

I was able to watch the first quarter of Brooklyn's game and they were up 3 - 0 when I left. There has been a big improvement with her team from last year. They are scoring a lot more goals and are playing better defense. They have doubled their win total from the last two years and are no longer the worse team in the league. It is fun to watch because the girls are having fun and it is nice to see their work pay off. The team that Brooklyn played yesterday was actually short a girl so Brooklyn got to play for them the first half and then another girl played the second half.


Brooklyn trailing the play just in case. She has become a very good defender and is starting to get a little more aggressive in her play.


Brooklyn right in the middle of everything helping her team get the ball out of there.


Nolan and Payton hanging out at Maddux's game.


Nolan is so ready to play soccer and should get his chance in the fall.


Payton just having a seat waiting for the game to end.


I love Payton's facial expressions.
