Sarah Scores 5 Goals, Nick get 14 pts in Basketball finale

Sarah scored 5 goals in her spring season opening game in her AYSO U-6 team today. She was a powerhouse on the field and the most prolific scorer on the field today, despite only playing about 1/2 the game. I guess the coach pulled her as he did not want to beat up on the other team too bad. She clearly knows what she is doing out there and is much more focues than most of the other kids. She is not afraid to get in the middle of the action and mix things up.

The first picture here shows her scoring one of her 5 goals. I don't think I ever scored 5 goals in one game.










She loves to get right in the middle of the action.









She had the blue uniform on today and the pigtails. There was another girl there today in the white uniform with pigtails and at one point, Sarah looked at her as if sizing her up and thinking she is not going to stop me today.




Nick scored 14 points in the basketball season finale. Although he was somewhat intimidated by the kids in the rec league he played in, he felt much more confident in this church league and was not afraid to take shots. Even if he was not particularly open.



He was very intense last night, as he has been the last couple of weeks, chasing down each and every loose ball and getting a lot of rebounds. If they had been calling a close game, he might have fouled out. He had a blast and best of all, they won big and one of his best friends spent the night and watched his game.








His layup style is a bit unorthodox.





Here he is chasing down another loose ball...and getting to it first


Yes, basketball season is over for both of them now. They got their trophies last night and are happy. Now, we'll focus on baseball for nick, soccer and t-ball softball for Sarah, gymnastics for both and soccer for Tim.
