Redemption is sweet, a quality win by our Firedragons again. 
We had to make a few adjustments on the fly but that's the beauty of the game, it twists and turns and if you pay attention you learn something. One player was giving us fits and the girls figured it out and that was the end of that. 
Players of the match are Monica and Sophia V. 
One last thing on sportsmanship, as we were shaking hands with the other team their best player walked behind the line and shook no one's hand. It did not get over looked by myself and some of our players. It should go without saying that I would never approve of that behavior and I would not expect that from any one member of our team. Try to be the best player on the field and then try to be the best person off of it. 
Special thanks to Laurie for helping Sophia C. with the ice pack. See you all Tues. and Thurs.

Just when we got back to level the other team ripped off 3 consecutive goals and that was that. The good news is that it didn't ruin Paige's pizza party, (thanks again). Plenty of work to do starting on Tues. and Thurs. Players of the match are; Kelsey and Grace. We worked some good scoring chances but couldn't finish, that's soccer. If all the teams playing finished all of their scoring opportunities the scores would be a lot higher and maybe then we as Americans would like the sport. Kidding, I like it just fine.

Thanks,

Patrick

Last Saturday's game was one of our best. The Renegades  were a very skilled and aggressive team, but we still  won.
I played forward and defense, so I saw how awesome we were from both sides of the field. Our forwards were very fast and open and on the ball all the time. And our defense got the ball on the other side very quickly, so no goals were made on us.
I'm very proud of our team and hope we will play that great this Saturday too --

and then everyone is invited to my house for PIZZA :)

we are the Away Team playing against the BLUE ANGELS
12:00pm at Kimbell Field

{from the coach}

A well earned victory over a quality team. Understand that contact and fouls are a part of the game and they are inevitable. Some coaches teach being physical and playing the player and not the ball, I don't. Be the better team, playing the better soccer. Be the better individual with the higher skill level, that doesn't have to resort to fouling and being physical. That being said, I saw a lot of similarities in the style they played and the style we play. There was a lot of good ball movement on both sides and a lot of quality scoring opportunities from both teams.
Players of the match are Gabrielle and Simi, both of them played solid defense and were in support of the midfield, like they are being taught at practice. Apply what you learn, "gee that's an interesting concept".
A beautiful game played by all and the girls gave everything they had. See you all Tues. and Thurs.
