Wilson Baseball Care-oke

The coach of the Wilson Freshman Baseball team wanted the boys to do something to give back this holiday season. It was decided that the boys would have a Care-oke night at the Beach Club. Each boy on the team would sing a kareoke song and then roam the crowd with his baseball hat to get donations depending on how good the kareoke performance was.
The evening started with a bang with a performance of "Soul Man" by Stevie and Andrew. The rest of the team followed till it got to Mickey and Kelly who sang "All Star". Then came the big finale. Eric Wilcox the "Squints" of the team. Hasn't hit his growth spurt yet, the size of an 11 year old with thick glasses - but a solid ball player.

Wilson Soccer

Wilson soccer has started and Kelly is on the JV team. He has been super busy with preseason games and traveling around LA and Orange county playing other high schools two to four times during the week and in tournaments on the weekends. I was excited when Wilson finally had a preseason home game to go see the action. I was not so excited when Kelly got yet another red card his first time playing on the Wilson field.
If he gets another red card CIF rules make him ineligible to play soccer in high school, so HOPEFULLY he has learned his lesson!
