Three great soccer games...

Last Saturday the HS team played two games against the Escola Francesa on a society field, 8 v 8. These were a great games, Letsie, Adnan and Huat Thart scored the goals for the Eagles. Highlights were Huat Thart crossing for Adnan to head it into the goal, and Letsie's pass over the goalie for Huat Thart to run into the goal with the ball. Those were awesome goals!!!

  Yesterday (04/10/13) we played against Atlético Paranaense at UnB under some heavy rain. We had a great time playing on the big official size field. Letsie, Adnan and Kwame scored the goals for us. In the final score we lost 8 to 4.

The best game ever

  The elementary team did a GREAT job playing in the rain against a very tough team yesterday (04/10/13). Tomohiro and Daniel scored the goals for the Eagles, as they battled against Atlético Paranaense at UnB. The field got soaked and everybody got drenched. We had a blast and I am proud of how the boys competed. In the end we lost by 6 to 3.  Great job guys!

Boys Softball Game

The boys had another game against EAB today.  It was a little bit windy and rainy but otherwise it was a beautiful day for a softball game. 

The EAB boys ended up winning but overall it was a great game.  The final score was 21-16.  There was a couple of highlight plays. 

Gustavo had the catch of the day even though Mr. K ran him over trying to catch the ball.  Mr. K hit him like he was playing football but he still managed to hold onto the ball.

Letsie was his usually steady self in right field with his normal, everyday catches. 

Frizald almost had the catch of the day.  He caught it in his glove, it popped out and hit him on the head.  It then was dropping to the ground and he dove for it and almost caught it with his bare hands. 

Ben hit a inside the park home run that scored Letsie  and Mr. K. 

Zeeshon was pitching as usual and made several great defensive plays. 

Alan was catcher and had some great hits. 

Mr. Axeworthy was a great 1st baseman, Mr. Lancaster subbed in and had some great hits and great defensive plays.  Mr. Batista was in center field and a  made a great running catch. 

Everybody hit the ball extremely well and played great defense.  It was a great improvement from last game.

Girls Softball Game
