I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was the head coach for the middle school boys’ soccer team.  We finished the season last night with the county play-offs where we won 4-0!  During the regular season, we had a record of 11-1 which made us the number 2 seed.

Semi-finals games were played Monday where we beat the number 3 seed.  In a big upset, number 4 beat number 1 which left us to play the number 4 seed for the championship game.  After some political nonsense, we finally got to the final game Wednesday afternoon where the boys were super excited!

I played soccer and other sports too as I was growing up.  In particular though, I played soccer in high school and I was a fair player…certainly not good, but tolerable.  Still, I liked sports and enjoyed time on the field.  I do not think I was ever as in to it as the boys on this team were though!  Their energy was electrifying and I think I got more hyped up than I have been in a  long time!

So, anyhow, we shut out the other team and ended our season on a super high note!  I am so proud of these boys and truly enjoyed the last few months getting to know them better, teaching them what I could and encouraging them to be good young men!
