Soccer Season Begins
So it begins. Almost eighteen years ago I was taking pictures of firsts; first smile, first tooth, first crawls, first steps. Now it's pictures of lasts. Tonight we had the first soccer game of the season - Patrick's last first game of high school soccer. It was a tough game against a new competitor and we lost hard (7-0), but we had a chance to play many of our young players who benefited from the field time against a larger (it was their varsity team, so all juniors and seniors versus our 7th-12th grade players) and more experienced team. Here are a few shots of Patrick. Hammin' it up for the camera. You can't tell from this shot, but this was a lovely save. While we did lose the game, Patrick made more saves than he let through.
