Jude defended well against a great striker from Regis

When Jude started the varsity soccer season at South High School he had one major goal: to make the playoffs. And he was able to achieve that with the team coming in 27th in 5A. They were matched up against Regis Jesuit who came in fifth in the regular season. While South were able to hang with Regis for the first 20 minutes of each half, in the end they were much too good and defeated South 5-0.

Jude was not that disappointed. He played really well and was able to handle a striker headed to a D-1 school. And they all played their heart out so they knew that there was nothing more they could have done. The four years went by so fast and it is hard to believe that Jude has played his last high school soccer game. He had a great run with two years on JV and then two years on Varsity.

Maggie, Isla and Anna dressed up as characters from the Wizard of Oz

Halloween was a low key affair at our house this year. We had the neighborhood kids parade and then we had a few kids come by but it was not busy. Anna got dressed up and went trick-or-treating with some school friends. We only saw her briefly that night.

Anna’s Avalanche team at Blue Debut

There was not much going on this weekend. On Sunday Jude had soccer tryouts with Réal and Anna had the annual Blue Debut where all the Cheer Athletics teams do their routine in front of an audience but it is not scored. Anna was filling in for her old Frost team from last year and she also performed with her regular team: Avalanche.
