Emi Represents on Election Day

On Monday night before election, we got a message from Emilio's teacher that he needed to dress up like Obama for the presentation he and Tyler (representing Romney) would be making the next day.  We met the challenge by buying him a Bears baseball cap at Hibbett sports and getting him into the Africa t-shirt which is a little too small for him.

We think Emilio was asked to be Obama because Mrs. Hill asked him who he liked best.

We later heard that the presentation was so successful that Emilio and Tyler went from classroom to classroom so that everyone could enjoy it.

Season Two, Game Seven: Surfers vs. Ninjas

Off the post!

With the left!

That's three in the first half.

Four!

Color commentary from the coach of the Black Ninjas: "Here he comes, guys. [Emi scores #5]. Hey guys, you're not watching what he's doing. Every time somebody kicks the ball, ya'll sit there, and he's running up on you to take off after the ball."
Seven games, 26 goals.
