Saturdays are for soccer!

Well, the soccer season is in full swing around here, and what that means for us is practice 4 days a week, and two games on Saturdays. This weekend was another great day for the Warren girls, as we had wins all of the way around.

 


I'll start with Zoey's team, the "Maniacs" even though their game was later in the day. They are still undefeated, and have been kicking the boo-teh of every team they have faced. This week was no exception. At the half they were 4-0, and the coach warned the players to take it easy, as a new rule this season mandates if a team gets up by 5 points, they must bench TWO players, and play 6 players against 8 for the remainder of the game.

 


Indeed, about 60 seconds into the second half they scored their 5th goal, and two players had to take a seat. But the girls fought hard, and still came out victorious...winning 6-2...even playing basically half of the game two players short! We were SO PROUD of them!!!

Avery also had an awesome game, scoring 2 goals during her game. With her age group the team is split onto two fields, so there are two games going on at once and "no score is kept". Yeah, right! The "RazzleBerries" went down in a stunning defeat, and the Firecrackers remain undefeated. That makes 9 goals that Avery has scored during games so far this year, and again we just love watching it happen.

 


Of course by the time it was late afternoon and she was at her sister's game, just waiting on the sidelines for it to be over so we could go home...her enthusiasm for the game had waned. It's tough to be a soccer star...
