U4 had another great game. As usual Noah stunned everyone with the velocity he puts on his shots and had one goal. Zach seems to have settled in to the routine of playing completely and is really enjoying himself. Luke had a good game as did Eileen and Jill. The highlight of the game for the Blueberries was a long distance goal from Karolyn on a kick-off. Crazy!
The Blue Jays had an amazing game! Madeline, Justin and Kendra each took turns in goal and were excellent. Maddie made some great stops and also played very well in the field. Justin also had two good stops followed by two excellent throws and was very solid playing fullback in front of Kendra. Kaleb, playing mostly defense, showed some amazing anticipation and really contained the other side. Ethan, who is a big brother now (congratulations Angela and Mike), also made some great stops in defense for us. Kendall played with a lot of energy and had an assist on one of Nate's two goals! She was disappointed with that as she desperately wants a goal of her own. Nate's other goal came off of a perfect corner kick from Owen. It was breathtaking. Then a bit later Owen had a goal of his own; a low spinner that slipped through the goalie's hands. Great work everyone!
The Tsunami didn't have their best game and we have plenty to work on in practice. For one thing, we'll talk about how to deal with rough play from the other team in situations where the Refs seem oblivious. Kung Fu may be involved. For another we'll be working on losing our reputation as the most polite team in the league.
We did however have two highlights: A nice goal from Avery and another from Bryce, his first. Bryce's shot was from at least 15 yards out and seemed to take all day to find its way in past the goalie. Bryce later described it as a "slow motion" goal. I'm sure it won't be his last.
