Wyatt's season began this weekend. Wyatt is our u12 goalkeeper; he splits time with another keeper on our team.
The weather has been chilly and rainy all weekend, and we didn't know if we'd get the games in. They were scheduled for one yesterday and one today.
Usually, Wyatt and the other boy altername games at keeper. This weekend, the boys decided to split halves: one would play keeper one half, the other the next.
Yesterday, Wyatt started in keeper and the first half ended 0-0. The other team got two quick goals at the beginning of the second half, but then we rallied to get one back, then Wyatt came in at center mid.
Someone shot, the other keeper put it back out, then Wyatt volleyed it in for the equalizer! 2-2!
A sloppily played goal by their keeper, and an own goal by one of their backs, and we won 4-2.
Today, we got overwhelmed by one of our club's other u12 teams, and lost 0-6. Wyatt let 3 go by, and the kid he splits time with does too.
So we won one and lost one on two rainy days.
You should have seen him celebrate after he scored that goal on Saturday!! He did the airplane arms and everything!! That's a memory that we'll have for a long time.
See, you have to take away stuff from the good games and the bad games.
I didn't see the game today, but I heard we played well. That the game wasn't as lopsided as the score. My son Beck texted me that Wyatt had a triple save today!
Gotta take the good with the bad. Just like life. Right?
Peace and soccer,
Eric
