Strikers

Luke's friend Will's soccer team needed another player so they asked Luke if he wanted to play.  At first Luke said, "no" but then changed his mind.  So I got him all signed up and ready to play.  Now, remember, it has been a couple of years since Luke has played soccer, he has been playing basketball.  We were a little worried since he has not even TOUCHED a soccer ball since his last game :)  We were excited to hear that Diego was going to be on the team too.  Diego was on the Hurricanes with Luke.  

The game was at 2:15 and it was 100 degrees... O N E   H U N D R E D!  I seriously thought we were going to melt.  Nothing like feeling that first bead of sweat running down your back and into your...

There was hardly a  cloud in the sky but when the sun went behind one it was a huge relief.  When it was Luke's turn to play he came running out on the field with a smile on his face.  

Like I said before Luke had not touched a ball in who knows how long... he got out there and played his heart out!  He was going after the ball and was aggressive.  I think he touched the ball more in this one game then he did all season last time he played.  They were playing on the large field too so it was a really big change for him.  

We were SO proud of him for giving it his all!  Way to go LUKE!
