Week No. 5

The soccer season is officially half over. Only three games remain. Another crisp fall day was on tap for today's early morning game against the "yellow" team. This is the team with a few "bullies" amongst them. I am proud of how the girls don't allow that to keep them from going after the ball. GVG did an awesome job in dribbling the ball around the little fellow in the pictures below, which apparently brought some remarks from him.

GVG and MEG have the ball here. The boy in yellow on the right is one of the above-mentioned bullies.

It was a hard-fought game, with (it seems) some extra unnecessary roughness. Our team won 1-0.

While playing as forwards, this is how close they came to the goal several times (MEG left; GVG center).

As a mid-fielder, MEG prepares to pass up to a forward.
