High School Soccer Done!

Vincent had a great season with his High School soccer team. He started playing on the Junior Varsity team and loved it. He got lots of playing time and they won a lot of games.  All of the boys on the team are great. It was a lot of fun to watch them play.

Toward the end of the season he was asked if he wanted to join the Varsity team. He decided to finish playing with the JV team and also move up to Varsity. He was able to play half a game with JV that way he stayed eligible for Varsity. The Varsity team was doing really well and that was great, but it meant a lot of time for Vincent on the bench. Oh Well....it is fun to be on a winning team, and play with the big boys.




SHS JV Team




They had a fun time playing with the SHS Alumni. 


This is a fun shot of the boys when they knew they had won Kingco and beat Mercer Island!


Vincent making a goal and the Goalie is very upset. Poor guy! 




Dad and Andrew trying to stay warm at a very wet game.  We had a few of those for sure. 



 SHS Varsity won Kingco Conference!  Very exciting for the boys. Yeah!







Off to a quarter final game in Camas Washington. It is right next to Vancouver WA. About a 3 hour drive. The boys left early on Friday and spent the night in town so they would be ready for the big game. I drove a group of boys down and then Gary came down later after work. 

They have a really nice stadium for the High School. 
  
I had never heard of Camas before. But it is a very small town with really good sports teams. And the whole town shows up for the game. I don't think there is a whole lot to do there. :-) 


The boys ready to go. 





It is hard to watch on the side lines when you know you have no chance of playing. 


SHS gave it a good try. But they could not get a goal in the net. It was a very physical and fast paced game. They ended up losing the game. It was very hard on the boys. I felt so bad for them. They really tried hard and work so hard to get here. 

But I am proud of them. They won Kingco and will be there again to beat them next year. :-) 
They ended up wining the State Championship this year.
