What an exciting weekend of games!

We had such an adrenaline pumping Saturday! PHEW! Jeff's first lax game was at 10am so I left around 8:15 to get the concession stand set up, etc. As many of you know, the south is really into their football and, because of that, all of our football fields in the county are changing to turf! Well guess what, WE, the lacrosse teams, were the first to use them yesterday! They are NICE! I never imagined my 10 year old would be playing on a turf field, go figure. Anyway, the team ended up losing the game but boy did Jeff have a fantastic one himself. He's decided recently that he likes defense (as opposed to attack which is what he has played every other season). He was directing the boys, running the ball up the field (even took a shot on goal once), and being aggressive. He was just awesome!


Phil's game began at 1:45 closer to home and on a really, pardon my french, crappy field. It was at a local middle school and it was all sand/dirt. Needless to say, our Phil scored the first of 12 goals! Man was it incredible. His back was facing the goal, he got the ball, turned, and shot, all in one motion! SWEET! He scored another goal later in the game - he plays right attack - where he was practically side by side with the goal, probably had about 4 inches of space to actually make a goal, and he got it in there! His team ended up winning 12-4, with 6 players scoring so you know it's a TEAM effort, not just one hot shot scoring all the goals.

I hope some of you will be able to come watch a weekend of games! The boys would love it and I'm sure you'd have a great time too!

Today Phil is trying out for a travel/select team. He's been very nervous and really wants this so keep your fingers crossed!
