redemption

last week E's soccer team suffered a very disappointing tie with the Orange Crush.  The game ended 5 to 5.  One of their goals was scored when our goalie let the ball in between his legs (thankfully not Ethan) granny style, another was scored by one of our players in our net :(  (again not Ethan but still painful).  It was awful.

This week our boys came back ready to win it.  Both teams really did.  They played HARD.  It was exciting and action packed.  Our keepers defended that net with all they had, twice Ethan took a flying leap and landed on the ball with no concern for his own safety or that of his teeth.  Once he leaped into the air and caught a ball that was many inches above his grasp.  Our defense was flawless and our offense ruthless.  Sweet.

This game ended 3-0. 

They were satisfied and at the crowd, which was alternating between holding their collective breaths and cheering wildly was very pleased (at least on our bleachers)
