Finally... league games resume...

Mixed results this weekend... a 0-3 loss on Saturday to Sting West Royal, followed by a 3-1 win over the High Plains Drifters, who we had tied the last time we played them. The girls played tentatively on Saturday, but really picked it up on Sunday. Five more games left in the fall season...

I am Gmail 1337!!!

I thought it was pretty cool that I noticed my 1337-ness...

High School Soccer...

My daughter informs me that she made JV2, which is mostly freshman girls. I don't think that's a bad deal as it's a big group of girls with loads of talent. That's true of this age group across North Texas. A group as big as it is talented bodes well... No?

Great Trip to Austin...

My daughter's team made it to the finals again, but we could not put away a very determined Sting Blue team, a team that my daughter almost committed to play for because of their coach, who she played for last spring...

My daughter's team went up 2-0 TWICE in this tournament, and they still managed a tie on Sunday during bracket play. After they defeated Dallas Texans Red South in the semis, we met them again in the finals Monday morning... again, my daughter's team was up 2-0 and could not put them away and we lost 3-2!!! They had a little help, well A LOT, of help from a center ref who awarded them four penalties that were scoring opportunities (they converted two, including the game winner), but they also played better than us for much of the second half. We also had a few good opportunities that we failed to convert. It was still a very fun weekend for the girls... League games this weekend, then for some reason we have a LONG break - twenty days - before the next league game.
