We faced this same team a few weeks back and in that game their strongest player kind of dominated the Apples, mostly by liberal use of his elbows. This week we kept him in check with some very good defensive play. We especially had some very good goal coverage from Chase in the third Quarter. I saw several of the kids beginning to get the idea of converging on our goal to defend when needed. That's great and our offense can build off of that.
We had a goal from Mason and another one shared by Mason and Nate. Nate also went for an own-goal but was, luckily, stopped by Owen. This week we switched sides at the half for the first time and some of the kids were clearly disoriented. Maddie got so close to putting in our third goal but then got confused as to which goal was the right one. Next week she'll get one.
Thanks again for everyone's patience, especially Caleb's dad. He was ready to provide the snack after this week's game only to discover that the parents of our surprise 13th (!!!) player had also picked-up the snack. I'm trying to find out where this new player came from. If she wasn't actually signed up by the league administrator I'll have to tell her folks she can't play, obviously.
See you all next week.
