119 players. 10 competitive teams. Our biggest year yet at Franklin County Sports Club! 📈⚽

Going from 8 teams during our inaugural year to 10 teams and 119 athletes this season—selected out of 328 tryout participants—is a massive testament to the strength and demand of youth sports in our community. Launching our first-ever high school girls team (U16 Riptide Girls) marks an incredible milestone for local player pathways.

Huge thank you to our title partner, Bank of Washington, and every family building this club with us. Head to the blog link below to see the complete roster breakdown, and join me in wishing all 10 teams the best of luck this season!

A special milestone for the Moraes family! 🤍

Yesterday at First Christian Church Union (FCCU), we dedicated our baby boy, Leonardo Lorenzo Moraes, to Christ.

It was a powerful service where four families stood before the congregation, committing to raise our children with a foundation built on faith, love, and grace. We are so grateful to have a strong church community that publicly pledged to support and encourage us along the way!

A highlight of the day was having family travel from Honduras to share in this moment—my mom (Ninoska Irias Oficial) and grandma (Eda) were right there beside Maria, Alexander, and me.

Building a legacy of faith for the next generation is the greatest responsibility and privilege we have. 🙏✨

In Memory of Attorney Benigno Ramón Irías Henríquez (1935–2026)

Yesterday, our family lost a giant. My great uncle, Benigno Ramón Irías Henríquez, passed away at the age of 90.

As a former Vice President of the National Constituent Assembly that drafted the 1982 Constitution of Honduras and a longtime leader in the department of Olancho, his service to the nation left an indelible mark on history. Beyond his public calling, he was a true anchor in our family—always sharp, full of humor, and constantly advising me to carry myself as a well-behaved gentleman. He was a leader I truly looked up to, and his wisdom will stay with me forever.

Rest in peace, Tío. Thank you for your leadership, your humor, and your legacy. 🕊️🇭🇳

En memoria del Abogado Benigno Ramón Irías Henríquez (1935–2026)

Ayer nuestra familia sufrió una gran pérdida. Mi tío abuelo, el abogado Benigno Ramón Irías Henríquez, falleció a los 90 años.

Como exvicepresidente de la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente que redactó la Constitución de Honduras de 1982 y reconocido líder del departamento de Olancho, su servicio a la patria dejó una huella imborrable en nuestra historia. Más allá de su vida pública, fue un pilar indispensable para nuestra familia: siempre ocurrente, con un gran sentido del humor y guiándome siempre para ser un caballero respetable. Fue un líder admirado por todos y un gran ejemplo a seguir.

Descansa en paz, Tío. Gracias por tu liderazgo, tu alegría y tu legado. 🕊️🇭🇳

One year without you, Grandma Sonia. The love you had for your grandchildren was everything. While I wish you could have met my youngest, Leo, I find comfort knowing you’ll always be watching over us. We miss you so much. ❤️

Thank you for standing behind our players, coaches, and families! 💙

Happy Birthday to my best friend, my greatest blessing, and the love of my life. ❤️

Watching you become the incredible mother you are to Alexander and our sweet newborn, Leonardo, has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. You pour your heart into our family every single day with so much love, patience, and strength.

You’re not only an amazing wife and mother—you’re also a loving daughter, a devoted granddaughter, and someone who always makes our family, especially our loved ones in Honduras, feel seen, welcomed, and loved. Your kindness has a way of touching everyone around you.

Thank you for standing by my side through every season, for believing in our dreams, and for making our house a home filled with faith, laughter, and unconditional love.

I thank God for bringing you into my life. My prayer is that He continues to bless you with wisdom, joy, good health, and peace as we raise our boys and build the future He has planned for us.

*”Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” — Proverbs 31:28

Happy Birthday, my love. Alexander, Leonardo, and I love you more than words can express. Thank you for being the heart of our family. Here’s to another year of God’s faithfulness and countless beautiful memories together. ❤️🎉
