Back to back games; a home game against Waverly this evening. The boys won 6-2.
The next lax post I’ll start with Matthew first, but, we’ll go with the Cpher photos again to start off.
More Cpher photos than Matthew photos again; this is again a reflection of the playing time issues….guess Matthew is going to have to ask to play defense or attack if he wants more time.
I am happy that it took all of about 3 minutes into this game to get a replay of Cpher rushing upfield! Still, no shot on goal, but, we are working our way there. Coaches, later in the game, are cautioning him to look for teammates instead of running. I think the big guy and I have agreed that one rush, with a shot on goal, is enough and good passes after some runs afterwards should be the order of the day….
I do like that he is much more comfortable running with the ball this year. Last year it was get possession and just heave the ball forward.
Got some good photos of him today too!
I like this one, but, I know that #25 there got by him and had a shot on goal..
They ran four middie lines today (12 kids) and only had 5 kids each on attack and defense. There’s no way that can ever work out fairly for the middies….and the absence of Matthew from any meaningful minutes was noticeable.
But, Matthew is Matthew. He battles, he runs, he falls, he hits, he dodges….he never sits back and watches.
He passes…..
But his big brother, with a year more experience, does do a better job of holding onto the ball while running. I like this picture, with the ball directly over his head after he lost it.
I know a year of experience under his belt will make a massive difference next year; the kid will be a menace! Next game Thursday night!
