Another fun indoor soccer season for Xander. He had the same coaches as outdoor soccer as well as a few of the same teammates so the team went into the season knowing each other pretty well.
This past Friday night the boys played in the semifinal game that if they won would send them to the championship game on Saturday. Xander's team lost only 2 games the whole season and one of those losses came to this team they played Friday night. Before the game started the 2 teams were standing around, waiting for another game to finish before they could take the field, and the parents of the team we were waiting to play started pointing to the team who had just won and told their boys, "See that purple team that just won? You're going to play them tomorrow in the championship game." Well, there's instilling confidence in your team and then there's just plain stupid comments coaches make. Just because you beat our boys before doesn't mean you're going to beat them again! That's why we play the game. And play our boys did! The game was tied 2-2 until the final 4 minutes when Xander scored what proved to be the winning goal. We were so, SO excited!
Saturday the boys lost in the championship game but they kept the game close and Xander contributed a goal. Xander was really upset with the loss but was able to quickly get over it when we got to the team pizza party to celebrate a wonderful season.
Funny picture of Savannah with her "fangs".
Another medal for the dresser!
