I’m
not sure if I mentioned it before, but Matthew decided not to play basketball
this year. He returned to soccer. He played soccer two years ago, and they lost
every game. Last year his basketball
team made the semi-finals in what a dream run in the playoffs. Despite that, Matthew felt that soccer was
his better sport, and so returned to it this year. The team is no different than two years
ago. They’ve lost all five of the games
they’ve played so far, and except for one game where they lost 2-1, they’ve
lost the other games by quite a margin.
They are not even close to being competitive.
This
past Saturday was the school’s annual Pep Rally. All the teams and the individual players are
announced and they run into the gym like they’re going to win the Super
Bowl. It’s fun for the kids. Here are some pictures from the Pep Rally. Here is part of Matthew’s team with one of
the coaches directing Matthew into position under the arc of balloons.
The
kids are given this blow up baton which says “We’re #1” on it. When the kids were left to themselves, the
boys started whacking each other with them.
The
girls were more peaceful with them.
Finally
here’s a couple of pictures from Sunday’s soccer game.
They
lost 6-0. It’s going to be a long
season.
