POWER RANGER PLAYS SOCCER IN SANDY!

 Last Wednesday, Matt and his Red Ranger team took the field against the Alligators.  It was a most entertaining game.  TJ was the coach of the Red Rangers, and did a brilliant job of managing his little warriors.

 Even though this posting is all about Matt, I have to give credit to the rest of the team, as they put their all into this contest.  Caleb, had to take a personal "time out" to adjust his shin protectors, and the Leipalli boy showed the crowd that he could compete with the best. 


Matt begin the game with total enthusiasm and never let up until the game was over. 

He never let up, even when he was poked in the eye, and had to exit the game for a few minutes, in order to receive comfort from his Mother.



 Soon he was back into the game, giving 100% effort.

Matt had previously spent countless hours at home practicing Power Ranger moves, and this personal training obviously was an ego booster for him.  His aplomb was definitely that of a hero, and he was so pleased by the positive reaction of the crowd.

During a time out, Matty received some personal advice from his Dad,

and I think that Jenna enjoyed his comfort also. 



 She is so pretty.  Maybe someday in the near future, she ought to run for prom queen.
