WINNING!!!!
What an terrific performance by the boys today. You that were there know the amazing story that happened today and how our sons know how, and want to win. Everyone participated and after 110 minutes of soccer (we won the first game 6-7 in overtime), down 1-0 they rose to occasion tying it up with just 7 minutes left in the game. Sending the game into overtime. By the time the second overtime game began, we had been playing soccer for 125 minutes. This is 125 minutes of emotion, overtime win, day after Halloween, first game before 1pm all season, with just one substitute. Everyone participated and played an important role today. We played as a team with heart.
We beat the #1 seed, undefeated team in the league. Their record was 7-0-1, with a full roster and no morning game.
This is a game I will remember forever and everyone else will too.
The league championship game is scheduled for noon tomorrow at Sherwood field. I talked with the league director and they will have team introductions at 11:45am. I would like to see everyone present by 11:15am. We can warm up a bit and get ready to win again.
