This season of sports has begun at the Hartzheim home and we are excited. Cavin began his middle school Timberwood football season and is playing #99 as an offensive and defensive lineman. He is getting stronger and braver each game. He is still our gentle giant, so aggression doesn't come naturally, but he is getting more courageous and understands the game well. I am proud of him for working hard and being part of a team.
He is always to the side of the coach and watching the other players if he is not in, he is very attentive to what is going on.
He is a cute kid!
Cavin also decided during football season he would earn his first paycheck and become a referee in the fall soccer season. He and his dad are doing it together. His first week went well. He just needs to be louder, but he made good calls and loves soccer. Ragnar and he get to do their first game together this weekend on Ragnar's birthday.
As for Channing and Deacon, they are playing soccer with the Heatwave again. Channing's coach took a season off, so Channing really wanted to have Ragnar coach her. This would require Channing to play an age group up and with much bigger girls in the U12-U14 division. After much hesitation, he finally said yes and he has a great group of 18 girls. 9 of the girls go to our church and Channing loves being on a team with her friends and absolutely loves having her dad coach. They are the silver bullets. She plays mostly on defense, but she is learning and getting more and more aggressive with getting to the ball. As for Deacon, this is his 5th season with Wes Brown coaching. They changed his age group, so he is almost playing two years up as well. He really thrives with older kids though and made 3 goals the first game. He is a good player and just smiles the whole time he is out there. Soccer runs deep in his German blood! He is on the Blue Tsunamis this year and also has 5 kids from our church on his team and 9 of the 12 are returning, so he knows a lot of players and enjoys it.
I just LOVE to watch my kids play sports and look forward to each game. I love watching them work hard and grow and do something that is healthy and makes them happy. Let's go Timberwood, Silver Bullets, and Blue Tsunami! I hope it's a great season for them all!!
