Spring Soccer – The End

Lost 5-1 to Dewitt…if there was a fitting end to the season, this was it.  Three of the first four Dewitt goals were off of clear simple mistakes on our part…don’t kick the ball to the middle on defense.  We did, they stole it, and less than 30 seconds later they scored each time.  The team hasn’t really listened to coaching all year so I guess having them make the most basic of mistakes after having 9 months of telling them not to do that is poetic justice in it’s fullest.

That one goal?  Matthew…he lifted a nice pass from a teammate over the goalie from the right side into the side of the net.  We, as a team, had plenty of chances…just no finishing again.

It’s over, and I get a three week reprieve from soccer until tryouts in mid-June.  One more year of coaching for me and then I’m done….I’ll stick it out so that Christopher has a spot as he starts football and then he can decided what he wants to do with football and lacrosse as options.
