Scouts and Soccer
What da ya mean he's coming to cub scouts this year? Jake had his scond Pack meeting this year and he earned his softball belt loop. He is very excited about coming along. I will have both kids up at fall camp with me this year. Jake really likes wearing the uniform and is into all the awards and badges he can earn.
Jake played great this weekend at his soccer game. He scored two goals. At least he claims he scored two goals. Neither of his parents had any visual confirmation however how can you doubt the self proclaimed second best soccer player on the Storm Runners.
Max's team lost 1-0 this week. They played a team in their league who they had lost to prior 5-2. Max played goalie in the second half and held the other team scoreless while he was in goal. His punting has come along way, he consistently got the ball over mid-field. There was quite the controversy at the end of the second half. As time was running out our guys were putting some pretty good pressure on the opposing team. A shot went toward the net but was knocked down by a defender with his hand. After the ball struck the hand the referee blew the game over. Our coach insisted that we should receive a penalty shot as the hand ball was in the box but the referee insisted the game was over. There were angry words and I suspect several reports to be made on either side about the proper call and potential behavior issues. It was all very exciting and I know I am biased but I do feel the ref missed the call. Anyway only two more soccer weekends left.
