AK,

Just wanted to say that players like you are part of the reason I've always held the Wando program in respect. The attitude that rising to a challenge (whether self-imposed or brought by the other team) is more rewarding than taking an easy route to domination is one I want my players to understand and share.

I remember the first time we scored on Wando, in the second meeting of the '05 season. We ended up losing 4-1, but we scored first and held it for a while; after losing the first matchup of the season 9-0, that one goal was worth more than a dozen against a weaker team. Wando may have won the match, but I think my girls walked out of there feeling like they had accomplished more.


I've got good news and bad news...
