I beg to differ with your opinion of Kevin Graves. His behavior last night at the Cardinal Newman game was inexcusable!! He was warned several times by the center referree about language and coming on to the field during the game. At one point, he kicked a ball out far into the woods because he disagreed with an offsides call. He does not set a good example for his players at Heathwood Hall, especially in a Christian school setting. It was very disappointing. Thank God this is his last season at HH!! (And I won't even mention the behavior of the HH fans--disgusting!!)
On the opposite end of the spectrum, CN's Coach Boulware is a class act!! He did not throw tantrums like Graves did and concentrated on the players and the game, not the officiating and making a spectacle of himself. This was Coach Boulware's first season at CN and I hope he is there for a long time!
On another note, the game last night between CN and HH was a nail-biter! The lead switched back and forth until it was 4-4 at the end of two overtime periods. With no score in sudden death overtime, the game was determined by the assinine method of penalty kicks with HH winning at the hand of their very talented goalkeeper. It was a heartbreaker for CN who had the talent and the heart to go all the way but somehow couldn't make it happen. You can't win soccer games if you can't put it in the back of the net. Just wait until next year!!!
