Emi balls: Season One, Game Four

Before the game started, Coach Marr told Emilio he could do more driving this game. He did.

We won this one: 20-10. Next up: a doubleheader on Saturday, December 3rd.

End of Season Portrait

A Loan

As Emi's U-14 team game was wrapping up, we learned that Ada's second U-12 team wasn't sure they had enough players for their upcoming game, and they wanted to know if Emi could join them.

Emi started at forward and enjoyed strategizing plays with the other forwards.

Patience preceeds a well-placed crosser.

For the second time this weekend, Emi scores his team's only goal. That's thirty-one on the season.

Off the post! 5:50

Late into the game, his fifth sporting event of the weekend, Emilio was hustling into the corner to run down the ball. I think he likes nutmegging defenders almost as much as he likes scoring.

Another call up

On Sunday, we drove back from Shawnee so that Emi could participate in another U-14 game. Lots of players who hadn't indicated whether they could attend or not did, in fact, show up, so the roster was deep.

Emi was the first player Coach Rhynes brought in from the bench.



Coach Rhynes had some good advice for Emilio on this throw-in and Emilio listened well.
