Final Games of the Season for Hawks and Warriors!

Yesterday was the final game of the season for Justin (Warriors) and Tyler (Hawks). Justin's game was at 3:45 at Concordia. They won the game bringing their undefeated season to a close.

Tyler's last game was against his parent's alma mater TBS at 4:00. My good friend from high school (at TBS) Shannon came to the game. This was the first time I got to see her son Ryan. He is a beautiful boy! It was so good to see them both!

Both of the boys had fun this season and are looking forward to next season...not as much as I am though: both my boys will be on the SAME soccer team!!! Get ready Coach "K"!

Hawks Fight On!

Look at Tyler move! He went into the game about 10 minutes into the 1st half and played until half time. He did really well!


He has really improved this year and looks forward to the last 3 games of the year.

Half time chat.

HAWKS SOAR TO VICTORY!

Today the Hawks were cheered on to victory by Lila! (also Auntie Jen, Uncle Tim and Evan). It was another beautiful day for an outdoor game.


The Hawks played a great game and came out victorious over Grace Academy. It was a long awaited win and we look forward to another soon!

Hawks Soccer!

Tyler in action! It is easy to find him on the field...just look for the flying mop of hair!


Tyler always gives his all when he is on the field!

Another disappointing loss, but our Hawks always show good sportsmanship that we can be proud of!

Hawks Never Quit!

2008 Hawk soccer team! Tyler is in the front row to the right of the goalie.


Prayer before the game today.

Ty in the middle. Camera is junk thus the poor quality pictures... Ty had a beautiful shot on the goal today. Stopped by the goalie but soo beautiful!!!

Tyler during Tuesday's game!

He Can Play!!!

Tyler was released by the doctor to play soccer. There is a game tonight so he had to dress up for school. This is one of the new shirts and ties that Tyler picked out on Sunday. His dress clothes selection was looking pretty bad so we shopped after church.


Justin also looked especially nice today-picture day! SMILE!

2008 Hawk Soccer Gear

Every year the MRLH soccer team gets new T-shirts. This is the back of this year's shirt.


And the front... GO HAWKS!!!

Ty has a doctor appointment in the morning to reevaluate his fractured toe. If he is released he can play in the game tomorrow! Will let you know!

Here it is...

The jacket we have all been waiting for has arrived!!! Doesn't it look great?
(Note the "priceless" smile!)


That's ALOT of last name...at least its spelled correctly!

Hawks Fall Sports Awards Night

Thursday night we attended the Hawks sports awards. (Tyler is pictured with Coach Kirchenberg). Although the team didn't have any wins this season, they improved dramatically. At the beginning of the season they were losing by 7,8,9 points. The end of the season brought losses of only 2 or 3. This was a great season of growth for the team and we look forward to next year.

A Hawk in Flight!

Tyler (#24) in action!!! Mr. Scearce, the art teacher at MRLH, takes the soccer pictures during the season. He took this picture at the last game...WOW!!! Look at Tyler in motion! Unfortunately it was another loss, but WE SCORED!!! That goal was as good as a win to the parents gathered on the sidelines to cheer on our Hawks! We love our team!!

Hawks Never Give Up!!!

The MRLHS Hawks had another game today! It was up in Kirkland, which is where our cousin Calle lives. He came to watch the game with us and then we went out to PIZZA!!! Sadly, it was another loss for the Hawks, but it was a much closer and better played game than any other! We won't give up on our Hawks and know that they will come up with a win any time now!!!

HAWKS play on in Yakima!

Another beautiful day for a soccer game! Today's game was in Yakima...a 2&1/2 hour drive away. Tyler had to be at school at 6am to ride over on the bus. The girls volleyball teams had games there as well so they all went together. The volleyball games were this morning and the soccer game was at 2pm. We left Tacoma at around 9:30am and followed the directions to find an empty parking lot! After calling Tyler, we found out the volleyball games had been reassigned to another location! When we finally arrived, we found out that the bus had broken down and that the soccer team had no way to get to the location of their game. James and the athletic director, Mr. Syverson, rushed off to try to find the part for the bus. Meanwhile a mechanic showed up and was able to fix the problem! The boys were late to their game, but were still able to give it their all and play! (Joel, Tyler, and Daniel are pictured). Tyler played most of the second half and has really shown a lot of improvement. Although it ended up being another loss, this team is not made up of quitters and they played their best to the very end! Coach Kirchenberg and the whole team can be proud of their good sportsmanship! They truly are a team that brings honor to God!

Go Hawks!

Today was Tyler's

first soccer game for the season. The Mount Rainier Lutheran Hawks vs. Shoreline Christian. Tyler (#24) had a nice attempt on the goal but their goalie stopped it! Bummer! Unfortunately we lost the game, but not our enthusiasm! The team gave a standing ovation to their loyal fans and then bowed their heads to thank God for the perfect day and for their ability to play the game! The team has a great coach. He is a young teacher that the guys (and gals) on the team can really relate to. He is always positive and encouraging towards the players! A true role model for the kids to follow!
