Despite being down two players we had a great game. At first glance it looked like the other team had a real size advantage on us but our kids handled it wonderfully. Nate and Owen were unstoppable when in together with three goals, one for Owen and two for Nate, and with an assist by Nate on a goal by Luke. From the bleachers you may have seen Luke a bit red-faced and upset but he really had a great game. He's right at a stage that I've seen a lot of players go through, including Nate and Owen not long ago. He really works hard to get to the ball but due to his size he can't always beat the older kids to it. So he gets frustrated. But he kept running back in there and his tenaciousness paid off with a goal. If anyone got pictures of that or any of the action please forward them to me.
Our second quarter line was anchored by Kaleb who proved to be untouchable in goal. We had very strong kick-offs from Karolyn and Maddie with Maddie's leading directly to a goal. Kendall had four (four!) touches this week. Two of those touches were one after the other with Kendall deciding to put off her obligatory wave to Mom and Dad until after the second one. That's a big deal.
We will practice Tuesday but there will be no game next weekend because of Mother's day. Happy Mother's day Moms. Remember that we will make up that game by playing games the following weekend on Saturday and then on Sunday.
Special thanks to Ben Lighthall for leaving the building to get the snacks. That's dedication.
