Rowdy Rascals, Game 1

Yesterday was Jack's first soccer game. I can't say I was very excited. Unlike most of you I was praying for rain so we didn't have to go. My luck no rain. Better get it over with. I was almost positive that we would be quitting after the game. I knew those boys weren't even going to be able to participate because of their inability to stay focused and not fight with their brothers ( also on the team). I am sure I have mentioned Jack is on a team with three sets of brothers. When we arrive we are greeted by jack's coach(and babysitter), Melissa. She informs me that one of the younger boys is sick. For a bit it looked like Jack and Dominick would be the only two representing the Rowdy Rascals. Good news, here came a set of brothers. To bad it was the ones whose Mom is constantly on the field. You can tell I don't have high hopes at this point. The game begins. The other team kicks off. There they go, well the two brothers were fighting on the field and Jack just stood there in the middle of the field as of he were a spectator. HA! Dominick scored so back to the middle. Kickoff, Jack runs. I guess he just needed a refresher and was possibly checking out his opposition. Anyway, Jack kept up most of the game. He eventually started doing a backwards " victory dance" after they (by "they" I mean Dominick). Not sure how but Jack managed to score one goal! Yeah, Jack! I was so excited but I am pretty sure one of the other teams players assisted Jack. :) The other team quickly fell apart. So did ours. The two brother fought and the little one grabbed Melissa butt so the Mom finally pulled him off the field. The older one played momentarily after that. Eric quit keeping score when we were up 13 to 2. Yes, Dominick the dominator. Unfortunately I heard his mom tell him that Thursday his brother would be back and hanging all over him. Great! I see a glimmer of hope for the season.
Fingers crossed.
