It was our toughest game to date. The grey team has been together for several years - the players all come back to the same coach year after year. I suspect that they all go to the same church and so have grown up with each other, too. So they haven't lost a single game in probably four years. This wouldn't be so bad if they were so cocky about it. They have a history of pushing, kicking, and taunting that seems to be overlooked by the refs. Oh well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
Our team (Beenie's team) did great. The grey team scored in the first minute, we countered at 9, and they didn't score again until near the end of the half. Final score 5-1, grey. However, I was very proud of our team. They played their hearts out. Left it all on the field, as they say. We played our best, and came up short, and that's okay.
The best part of the evening's festivities was that Keke's game was at 5:45 and Beenie's game was at 7:00. I got to watch Keke's game for more than a glance here and there. She is really good, and looks like she is having a blast, too! She is good at both offense and defense, but better at offense. She's okay in the goal, but if she were on my team I'd have her up front. And I'd tell her to be more aggressive!
