(my good friend Natallie took the above four pictures, she is great at the action shots)
(I LOVE this picture of Michelle. These girls played in every possible type of weather.
Tough girls.)
Saturday Riley finished his season coaching the girls U-14 club team, "The Rage". It was quite an accomplishment for his first year of coaching club soccer. They finished undefeated and won their league title. They led their league in scoring and only gave up 5 goals in the regular season! They finished league play back in November, but have been playing in the State Cup the last month or so. Saturday they played the number 1 team in the state and played really tough only losing 1-0. Riley was very proud of how his girls ended the season and their effort in that game. They ended up placing 3rd in the state which is not too shabby. I know I complain a lot about how much he is gone and that all I hear about is soccer, soccer, and more soccer, but I am really proud of him and how he doesn't do anything half way, he doesn't do something just because he is being paid to do it. He gave those girls 100% of his efforts and it amounted to a successful season for everyone involved. It will be exciting to watch some of those girls who are moving up to his high school program in the fall as they progress and become even more amazing.
So at least for the next month or so, we will be back to Riley only coaching one team, IF you don't count all the work getting ready for girls high school soccer starting in June, and the club work that starts back up in the summer...............................................ahhhh, who am I kidding?
