Soccer!

Josh is a major soccer nut!! He loves soccer & always has. His middle school doesn't offer a soccer team, so he plays on a private team with kids from his school & the only other school in the area that also doesn't have a middle school team. However, they still play the other schools in the area. The Blacksnakes--Josh's team--started practice a couple of weeks ago & their first game was last night, against a middle school team from a nearby town. I haven't been to any of the practices yet this fall, so haven't seen them working together. I was so impressed last night with how they played! There was a marked improvement upon the team from Spring soccer. They won last night, 5-1. Their second game of the day was today, against a middle school from another town. THey were nervous, as this team is quite good. They played even better today than they did yesterday & won 9-1!! They are so excited that they are starting off the season undefeated!! This is such a great group of kids who have all become very good friends--I've really come to enjoy all of these boys. And of course, I have pictures!

Josh's team is in the yellow shirts.

This is one of Josh's best friends, Cooper.
