Jr. State Cup

Speaking of soccer, I’m waaaaay behind on a few things that I intended to include in my family journal awhile ago. Jake’s soccer team competed in the Jr. State Cup at the Overland Park Soccer Complex at the beginning of June. It’s the pinnacle of the season for these 11 year old athletes. They worked so hard and made it to the final championship game which was extremely exciting for all of us – parents, siblings, and players. Even other members of our club were coming out to show their support. Super cool! Jake played with his usual intensity, left it all on the field, and even though they come up short in the end, these boys should be so proud that they came this far. Way to go KC Fusion!Due to some club enforced coaching changes, Jake will say goodbye to Nate Herrington, his coach of 3 years, and start a new chapter with a new coach this coming season. It’s been a great ride and we’re excited to see what the future holds for Jake.Even Great Grammy D made it out to the fields for a game! Jake couldn’t have been happier to have her out there cheering him on. She rocks!At the start, the teams and refs parade out to the field towards the fans like an official match…it’s pretty cool!
