Tony King/stump duck--No game report from last night's game?



Ah well shoot since you asked.... I had figured Heise's recap was good enough to pass along the score so I just figured to let that ride.

Since you asked though-- I thought it was a very good game for my girls, basically even in terms of play between the two teams. They would control the ball for a while, we would control, they would quick counter, we would quick counter. Back and forth- back and forth. The last 10-15 minutes were absolutely outstanding fun to watch- incredible!

The goal came in the 7th minute I believe on what I think was a cross more than a shot. To me- it looked like the player was trying to cross the ball back into play and it just happened to float over my keeper and into the back corner of the net. I could be wrong and it may have been a shot, just from my angle that is how it looked.

We dinked their post a couple of time, they dinked ours once I think. I agree with Ken Smith's summary-- that there was a lot of nail biting going on, on both sides, scoring chances unrecognized, and that it could have gone either way.

One thing I do need to add is that I actually had the opportunity to help coach some of the BC girls in club a couple of years, some of them live in my neighborhood, I see them at the pool in the summer, etc� so loosing to them is a bit bittersweet, especially since it was their Senior Night. It is a strange situation when a team gets off the bus- several of them give you hugs and high fives-asks how are you doing-says they miss you- and then beats you 6-0 at home but then on the way back to their bus, more hugs and high fives etc. That was last year. 0-1 and the effort the girls put forth last night at BC this year is plenty enough for me to be proud of and hopefully build on�..although I think I�m going to have to scold my daughter for volunteering to be a BC ball girl for the game and for my son playing soccer at half time with them. WHERE IS THE LOVE I ASK YOU!!!!

Best of luck to BC the rest of the way this year. Best wishes to the girls moving on to college and Governor�s school. And wishes of success for the young ladies waiting in the wings to fill the cleats of those moving on!
