The end of the regular season brings the team to Waverly…we beat them when they came to our place so we figure this will probably be a good result.
Not so much. Lose 6-1; the team sleepwalks through the game and gets what they deserve.
The improvement in Matthew’s game from the start of the year to the end is pretty awesome to behold. No more problems running with the ball and keeping it in the head of the stick. Does a good job passing; but, looking at these photos, think that might have been the better option here. There is a lot of yellow in these pictures.
He does take the shot though.
This game also brought the scariest injury I’ve seen Matthew take in a long long time. He was at midfield and their goalie threw it; Matthew jumped up to try and get it and was absolutely walloped by two kids, one high, one low….Matthew’s body contorted into a position it is not supposed to be in.
I didn’t hesitate and ran onto the field (I never do that)…..he was crying as hard as I’ve ever seen him cry when I got there but rolled over, took a few deep breaths, and was able to walk off the field. He did come back out later on, but, man, that was uly
Did not look good in a 6-1 loss….too much defense with his stick trying to hold guys back instead of getting his body up into them as well. Oh well, it can’t all be good…..
