Tough Loss

 
This morning I did a little work on Maya’s treehouse. Later in the afternoon I watched Nico’s soccer game. Despite his fine play, the team lost 2-1 in a very close match.

Kicking Around

 
Five minutes into my soccer game this morning I was kicked in the ankle (note the variety of unnatural colors). The free kick this earned was not worth the pain I suffered for the rest of the match or the potential impact on next week’s game. We played Lexington who beat us 5-1 on their field the last time we met. On our turf we were able to achieve a 1-1 draw. I had a number of nice break away opportunities but was fouled from behind on all but one. On my one chance, the goalie did a good job of cutting down the angle and my shot missed wide by inches. I redeemed myself five minutes later by setting up our only goal with a nice cross from the end line.

Go Ahead Goal

 
Maya has become a tough little soccer player. With four minutes left to play, she scored on a beautiful shot to the low corner giving her team a 3-2 advantage. She then came off the field to nurse a bruised knee only to watch her opponents score twice for the win.

Cross Bar

 
Kyle’s high school team played under the lights this evening and secured a 3-1 victory against Wayland. Kyle put a strong shot on goal but it bounced off the cross bar and no one was in position to put it away. Here he jumps to play the ball in the air.
