What a great soccer game last week! Despite the fact we were short two players due to illness (Riley who stayed home and Drake who managed to sleep through the game) our team really had a wonderful showing.
Connor had an amazing game! He was hustling and shooting (and scoring) on offense as well as really working on defense stopping those shots on our goal! He really is an intense player and has tremendous focus on the ball. He also did a great job recovering from some minor disappointment in a very short time — well done! Always remember the Blue Jackets #1 Rule of Soccer! HAVE FUN!
Lauren did an awesome job of handling the ball and taking it down the field. She took shot after shot and really pushed the other team to stay on their feet! Despite the heat, she was always willing to run her hardest and spent little time on the side lines (she filled in for everyone). Excellent job keeping at it for the entire game. Great team spirit and always a delight!
Conall did a terrific job passing the ball this week! He’s also got a nature talent for getting in there and taking the ball away from the other team and stopping their forward momentum. Excellent job of controlling the ball while taking it down field and shooting from center field. Conall continues to impress me with his focus at the games and practice. Nice job!
Avery was phenomenal! She played her heart out the entire game. Every time I looked at her bright red face I wanted a drink of water! She had great hustle during the entire game and was willing to get back in the game on a moments notice. Terrific job on keeping in the action, taking shots at the goal and going after the ball. Let’s keep driving that ball down field – you do it in practice, let’s see it on Saturdays!
Gabby was also sick (but recovering) and did an amazing job of staying with it and going after the ball. She did an excellent job of taking the ball down field and shooting at the goal. Nice control with the ball and working to get it centered for shots even though its tough sometimes. Its always much easier to shoot a goal head on, than from the side, so keep it up! I look forward to that smile and cheers at each game!
Thanks Mark for running around in the hot weather and sharing the referring duties with me and bringing your tent for us all.
Also much thanks to Stuart (Lauren’s Dad) who juggled three kids in the blazing heat for 3 hours, helped me lug my stuff from one field to another and then helped set up our tent too! Now that’s dedication!
IMPORTANT NOTE: If Morgan Hill is covered in smoke and ash due to the fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains and the game is cancelled, I will let you know via email and phone by Saturday morning.
See you on Saturday (Hopefully)
Coach Jamey
