More Soccer Games

 

Here is Gavin playing in the icebreaker tournament held by Broomfield Soccer Club each spring.  What's kind of nice is that even though he is playing for Colorado Edge we get all these games in our local backyard.  Can't complain too much about that!

For the finals match they march both teams out and they get a nice formal introduction before continuing on.

Here is Gavin playing a bit as an outside Center Back for his team.

I don't recall what the final score was, but they did end up winning their final match and took first place.  Sometimes, Gavin has a been a bit hot and cold with his soccer career as he sometimes seems like he likes it and other times it is hard to tell.  However, I think everyone loves to win and it was great to see him so excited and proud to be able to wear a champions medal.  His coach is also in the above picture, which is a story in and of itself.  We think the guy is like 23 years old and likely just barely old than these guys that he is coaching.  I think the team liked him, but Gavin would quite often come back from practice and tell stories about the coach asking them what they wanted to do on any given practice.  Either way, I guess it works, great work team!

One final picture of Gavin with his medal and holding the first-place trophy!  Awesome job, Gavin, we are so proud of you and your effort here...especially overcoming having heart surgery during the season.
