Gagner means To Win

Today was Abel's first soccer game with the Armstrong Falcons.  Not knowing anything about soccer is kind of an impediment for my obnoxious cheering at games.  But I only let that stop me for about 10 minutes of the first half.  

 Abel played a great game -- he was only one of three players to play all 90 minutes.  He plays CAM (Central Attacking Midfielder), and it is a lot of running.  No wonder he can eat so many marshmallows!

 The best news was that they won, 2-0! When he first made Varsity, I couldn't tell if he was excited or not.  I wasn't sure if he was excited.  I couldn't tell if he knew how awesome it would be to go through this experience. When we met him after the game, he was over the moon excited.   He said that he loved the field.  He loved playing at night.  And then, when he got in the car, he said, "I could run all night."  We are so proud of him!

Falcons Win, 2-0!
