Game 6 - Not our best game
Wow! Game 6 was rough. Just seemed to be an off day for everyone. Not to mention the other team had a ringer or 3. We really improved in the last quarter by minimizing the scoring from the other team. They took so many shots that I lost count.
We had a couple of opportunities to score but it just never happened for us other than Rylan's mid-field kickoff goal - which they did allow.
The main thing is everyone looked like they had fun. I know Christopher was pretty jazzed up all night. We have such a great group of kids. I can tell they play because they enjoy it.

Game 5 - What a Battle
Wow - what a tough game! While we lost 2-13, I was so proud of everyone yesterday. There were 2 players from the other team that did all the work. They had amazing Soccer skills. In fact, Jesus, the one kid that really dominated, was only 6! He had been sent up the grade levels due to his skill level. The kid is a real prodigy if you ask me.
Anyway, while they really ran up the score in the first half, our "Runnin' Rhinos" really put up a good defense the second half, cutting their scoring down an incredible amount.
The weather was hot, we were missing two players, and we were over-matched....and yet our team played harder than ever. What can I say - I'll take heart over skill any day!
Way to go Rhinos!

Game 4 - Amazing Effort
Our fourth soccer game was pretty exciting. Our goalies did a great job considering the number of shots the opposing team took on our goal.
What really impresses me about our team is the heart that they all have. It would be so easy to give up and quit trying when facing a team that seems to be so dominating, and yet our kids gave it their all the entire game. I'm so impressed with each and every one of them.
We now have 4 games behind us, and 4 remaining. I'm thinking of some things we could do to celebrate the end of the season. If any of you have ideas, please let me know. So far, I've considered a cookout, pizza party, bowling party...even Chuck E. Cheese - Let me know your thoughts.
Can't wait to see them on Thursday for practice!
