This past weekend we spent Saturday morning at Prattville HS for the kids' soccer games. Clark's team had its biggest challenge so far this season. They played a team that was very physical and could score. Late in the game we were down 5-3 and we thought the game was lost. However, Clark and the other forward on his team had other ideas. Clark took a pass and broke for the goal and while the goalie tackled him to keep from scoring, Clark was still able to get the shot off and scored. With the game nearing an hour played, we didn't think we had another chance. Then the kick off was stolen, passed to the far side forward who then worked with Clark to move the ball down the field. Clark finished off the drive with a score from the left side! After the goal the referee blew the whistle indicating the end of the game. Tied 5-5!! Clark was the hero of the game with three goals!!!!
Ryan continues to be impressive at goalie. He loves stopping the other team and no one has yet to score on him. His team did give up some goals, but as Ryan is quick to point out...not on him!! He cracks us up...one minute he will be a social butterfly and the next he is yelling out instructions and focusing on attacking the ball. What a nut!
Then there is our princess. Emma was a trooper Saturday. Her team was short handed and thus were out numbered on the field. While careful not to mess up her hair, she did manage to get into the mix and kick the ball. She did get tired at the end of the game and was ready to go home and play with her toys. I don't think she gets into all the sports stuff, but she does have fun and that is all that matters.
