Actually, many districts are on Spring Break, so there is a slight lull in the action this week. Not in Lex/Rich 5 though, where the DF girls exacted their revenge on Irmo tonight by a score of 2-0. I was not at the game myself, as I am in another time zone on business, so I can't give a lot of detail. I can tell you that it was a hard fought game, with both teams having multiple opportunities. The last 3 minutes were very intense both ways, with DF scoring their 2nd goal very late in the game.
On a more subdued note, DF lost to RNE on Tuesday night, 5-4. I'm told that both teams have filed police reports, following the mysterious disappearance of their defenses. Perhaps DF was overlooking RNE, knowing that they were playing a grudge match against Irmo tonight. At any rate, I'm here to tell you that RNE is the real deal. Alex Mouton gave a solid DF backline all they could handle and more. 3 of RNE's 5 goals were 1 on 1 break-aways by this talented forward against a solid DF keeper. Another was on a free kick off of her foot from the 19. Never mind that the penalty call which setup that shot was called by the ref who was 70 yards away, when the 2nd ref was even with the play and silent. We're above questioning the integrity of the officiating....
With these results, RNE is now in the driver's seat for the Region 5-AAAA title. This from a team that was nowhere to be found in the rankings prior to this week. Congratulations on a great effort by RNE!
That's DF for you.... always trying to make other teams feel better about themselves. You gotta love that altruistic spirit!
