Spring Soccer Season
Both Connor and Cohen played soccer this spring. As it always somehow turns out, many of their games were at the same time in different locations, so Mike and I had to divide on conquer. Mike was, once again, Connor's coach--so because of that, he always took Connor, and I always took Cohen. This means there are waaaaaaaaay more pictures of Cohen than Connor. That's the way life goes some times.
Cohen got hit in his nether regions one game, and I just happened to get a picture of it. Haha...
Cohen usually played forward or midfielder, and he was one of the top scorers on his team...
Cohen is smaller than most the kids he played against, but he's faster than most of them and has some pretty fancy footwork...
Cohen's 2nd grade teacher, Miss Wilson, came to one of Cohen's games! Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? Talk about going above and beyond...
Cohen played goalie for one game and was pretty darn good at it...
But, he is an excellent forward because of his speed. Here's a couple shots of one of his goals...
And another...
And another...
And another...
He's pretty awesome...
Cohen showing three fingers for the three goals he scored in one game...
And, here's some more good shots I got throughout the season...
Cohen had a great team and a great season! He improved a lot, and got a lot more aggressive too...
As mentioned, I don't have as many pictures of Connor's season. I was able to go to a couple of his games. He usually played defense or goalie. Here he is playing goalie...
He's a pretty good goalie...
The cheering section...
Playing defense...
Connor is a good defender, and enjoys foiling well laid out plans of the forwards on the other team...
Connor is a good runner, and was usually able to outrun the other team...
Connor had a good season, and improved a lot too. This may have been his last season of soccer though because he made it on his high school Cross Country Team, which is now dominating much of his life. Between Cross Country and his extremely difficult school schedule (including early morning seminary), there isn't a whole lot of free time. I'll have more about that in another post. --Lindsay
