Three soccer games in one day

Today Robert had a busy day - so did I but I had to keep it a secret ... shhh ... I'll explain later.

Robert had a basketball game at 11:00 in Crestwood - great win.  Then onto breakfast at McDonalds and then to his Futsal game that started at 1:15.

Aaron Green

Scoring!!!

They were up 3-0.  Robert had scored all three goals!  Then Robert was subbed out and they ended up losing 4-3.  BUMMER!!!!  Unfortunately in this game, Robert got kneed in the thigh.  OUCH!!!!  He is hurting.

We had the afternoon to rest, but then Robert had another game at 5:00 pm for OSC.  They won 10-4.  Great game!  Robert scored one, he was limping during the game.

He had another game at 7:00 for Creasey FC.  He had another 3 goals (or maybe 4) and was best player of the game.  Little did he know there was a big surprise waiting him for the rest of the night at home!!!

I secretly snuck off after the futsal game to picked up Robert's cake and more balloons for a surprise birthday party that was held later that night!!!

Fabulous Futsal

Robert finally got to play a FUTSAL game with his friends that attend St. X.  They are called the X-men.  Here he is with Trent, Aaron, and Ryan.  All four of these boys played middle school soccer together in 7th grade!

Futsal Double Header

We had snow over night that canceled the girls and boys basketball games, but luckily not the Futsal or indoor soccer games.

Robert had a 2:30 and 3:30 Futsal game.  The first game was against the Javanon team.  We were crushing them 3-0.  Robert scored the third goal.  

The first half ended 3-1.  The second half was getting out of control.  The Jacobean boys were not happy to be losing ... And they started pushing and shoving.  Several were removed from the game for 2 minutes at a time, and a boy from our team and Adam from Javanon were ejected for breaking into a fight.  It was the worst I've seen at this age level.

With the switch of goalies Javanon came back to tie and finish with a score of 5-5 tie.  We clearly out played the Javanon team but didn't have a trained goalie the second half.

Futsal against Seniors

The last "sports" event for the day was Robert's futsal game.  The game was held at the Fern Valley complex - a long way aways.  Mark had to take Robert early from his indoor soccer game which was being played in Buckner, KY so that Robert could get to the futsal game on time.

Robert would probably prefer the indoor game (Mark does) but we had to make sure we were there for the start of the game so the team didn't have to forfeit.  As it turned out we had the whole roster and it wouldn't have been a problem to come late - but you never know and you wouldn't want to be the one to let your team down.

Robert played a great game.  Again, we were playing a team of older boys.  This time Robert had to play against some of his "teammates" from his school's varsity team… in particularly, Sean William Harris.  He's a great player and scores several goals for NOHS.  We've often told Robert to watch his style of play because he's very quick and has a tremendous touch on the ball.

Anyway the game went back and forth - 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.  It was tied up at 6-6 when at the last minute Sean shot the ball hard at our goal and scored!  We lost 6-7 but it was a GREAT game and extremely good competition.  We held our own against some great players (that also happen to be older and stronger than us).  NOT BAD!
