A 2-2 tie versus Holt starts the spring season.
Holt: They were 8-0 in the fall; 8-0 in the most recent winter session. We’ll take the tie. We could have scored a few more goals; they could have too. Game 2 is a rematch (next Thursday)…so, we’ll see how that goes. They only field 7 players (one sub) so we told the boys to try and spread the field out and tire them out in the second half…will be more of a theme in practice next week.
Cpher: Only played defense, because, again, it’s been a challenge for our team and he’s the best we have back there. The kid is a rock…had multiple shots bounce off of him because he’s in the right place.
Matthew: Asked, at the end of the game, “Did I play good, Dad?”. Turned him to face the other coach and said “Matthew, we love when you come off the field and your cheeks are all pink, because, it’s very obvious you’re doing the only thing we want you to do…hustle all of the time!”. Had two chances in on goal and didn’t convert (didn’t even get the shot on goal…trying too much for the corners maybe…need to ask him about that) but made some good passes and was key for us at the end in preserving the tie.
