Caleb joined the fearsome Panthers for his second season of soccer. Actually, when I first saw the team, I thought they might have trouble winning even one game. But then Raul, soccer extroadinaire, stepped onto the field. With Raul (whose status is questionable due to an injury last game) the Panthers pretty well roll over most opponents. Of course, this league has rules about fair playing time and such so everyone get a chance at the ball. Caleb really stepped up his game this past week, taking 3 well-aimed shots. No goals for Caleb yet, but he's well on his way. And he has had a phenomenal run at goalie...he plays that position quite often and has never allowed a goal. This team has been an interesting experience because the Panthers are coached by an elderly couple. Coach Nick, who has to be pushing 70, cannot remember Caleb's name and so he frequently calls Caleb (as well as several of the other boys) "old man." Caleb is a little sad about this, but he's having a great time on the field!
