Pendleton have beaten Palmetto all three times you have met this season. Your winning margin has been reduced each time you have met as has the total number of goals scored in the game which suggests that both teams are settling and have improved. Pendleton's clean sheet is something to be proud of, but also Palmetto can be happy that they restricted a free scoring team (based on results on scoreboard) to just two goals away from home.
I know that Palmetto has many young players who have a lot of potential; Drew, Carmen, Cameron, Hunter etc. and few seasoned veterans in West, Paul & Christian. Although they have suffered heavy defeats they have always scored and none of the scorelines became embarrasing - which I think shows a great strength and team spirit.
And, for the record, I think that Pendleton's scheduling might cost them come playoff time. They stuff their opposition in their scrimmages and any time they have been tested against another ranked or capable team they have been defeated. Players will never improve their game if they are winning by silly margins week-in week-out, they need to be tested each and every time they step on the field.
Best of luck for the rest of the season.
C'mon Palmetto!!!
