Another Soccer Season with Heatwave and Math Olympiads!

Cavin has played his 6th year with the Texas Heatwave soccer club. He really likes soccer and does a good job. Ragnar stepped in to help coach last season after having a very inexperienced coach the previous season. Cavin really enjoyed having his dad as the coach. This season Ragnar coached again and they were the Green Arrows. His assistant coach was Coach Nate Williams.

On his team he had 12 players. Aaron, Stephen, Sebastian, Caleb, Alex, Adolfo, Blaine, Corbin, Jesus, Caleb, Luke, and Cavin. 
They were ranked 2nd for most of the season and played in the tournament on April 27th. They tied and went into a shootout after the first game. Cavin was the goalie so I was a little (or a lot) stressed out. He ended blocking a lot of shots, but most of the boys on both sides kept missing. Finally, after I think 8 shots Blaine got one in and we won the first game! We came back later to play the championship game against Coach Cantu's team and we ended up losing pretty bad. I think it was 9-0. 

We ended in second place and the boys I think were fairly happy with that.  

Cavin has great skills, body size, and an understanding of the game, he just really has to work on his speed and conditioning. 

I enjoyed watching him play and watching Ragnar coaching him along as they both love soccer. 

A couple days later Cavin participated in the Math Competition at the Humble Civic Center on April 30th. Out of his Math Olympiad club, the top 5 kids were invited to go to participate. He was excited to compete.  

Here are the kids representing Eagle Springs Elementary! 

They competed with kids grades 4-6. They did well but did not place in the top 3.  

They had a fun day and I am proud of him for working hard and leading his club as the Captain this year. I know he loves Math! Way to go Cavin!
