The battle begins. (JF)

Soccer stops for nothing.

A bit of rain? Play on.

So that’s just what the mass of teams at Fort Nugent did this weekend, as the annual Rock On 3v3 tourney played out through good weather and bad.

Our severely underpaid camera crew fanned out to capture the soccer smorgasbord pictured above, while I stayed dry at my house.

Nice.

Ice cream made Micky LeVine the player she is today.

They grew up together on the pitch.

The eight Wolf booters who will be honored at tonight’s Senior Night festivities (5 PM) have been playing soccer as a team for much of their lives.

The names have stayed the same — Julia Myers, Micky LeVine, Ivy Luvera, Christine Fields, Erin Rosenkranz, Jacki Ginnings, Ana Luvera and Marisa Etzell — while their games have gotten even sharper.

Take a moment to gaze at the top pic above, which captures the elite eight during their younger days, then head out to Micky Clark Field tonight and see them one final time as they are now.

P.S. — If you miss tonight, there’s actually one more shot, as an earlier-season game against Port Townsend was cancelled by a lack of ferry service.

That game, bumped to this Thursday, is also a home game. Just not Senior Night.

“Oh, you can try and run, but I’m still coming to take that ball away from you!!” (John Fisken photos)

“Can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Woman!!”

“You lookin’ at me? You lookin’ at me? Well, I’m the only one here. Who do you think you’re lookin’ at?!!”

“Prepare to fly, my old friend. I shall see you again … one day.”

“So, so much power. Can I wield my yellow cards without letting all that power go to my head? Or will I fully embrace the Dark Side? Questions…”

“I’ve gone to my happy place…”

“Scuse me, pardon me … don’t make me go upside your head, woman!!”

“And where do you think YOU’RE going?!?!”

Soccer is sweeping the nation.

Everywhere you turn, kids are chasing a ball around these days.

With three games on the same day at Rhododendron Park this weekend, travelin’ photo man John Fisken set up camp and clicked away, reeling off 263 (really) photos.

I’m giving you a little taste here with these eight. To see more (and possibly purchase some, helping fund college scholarships for CHS Student/athletes), click along on the links below:

Señor Mendes roots for the Americans, at least until they meet the host country.

Small town America is getting a big kick out of the world’s biggest sporting event.

Even before Team USA stunned Ghana 2-1 today in its Group of Death opener, the already soccer savvy town of Coupeville wouldn’t shut up about the World Cup.

Scroll through Facebook and half the posts are soccer-related. And that was BEFORE the USA win.

Now it’s at about 81% and growing.

The photos above are just a taste of what’s to come our way, especially if the Americans continue to shock folks.

Soccer 24-7-365. There’s no escaping it.
