Makeup Game Rescheduled

Soccer men - our first makeup game has been scheduled for May 3, 2009.

Premier Park #7 - 5:00PM

I would bet some coin that we do not makeup the second game since they have already released the playoff schedule starting on May 10th, Mother's Day again. They did this a few seasons ago. A night game would be pretty sweet.

I will not be at the next game on 4/28. Pup or Julio will have the cards, balls, money and skills.

Long overdue update

Guys,

Sorry for the long delay. Home life is more than crazy right now. I did take a moment to contact NTPSA today and ask about our rainout game. Their response is "Working on it".

So, there you have it. They are working on it over a month later. Anyone missing this week?

Possibly see you on Sunday.

Game 8 Recap

Boones ... sweet, sweet Boones!

Nice one today. That felt good to get back at those kids. Here is what happened:

There were some big winds out at Lake Grapevine. Mucio lost the coin flip so were against the wind to start the game. It was back and forth for much of the first half. Both sides had their chances. With the style of play on the pitch, there were some calls that resulted in free kicks. Boones had a few in first half. Chad was the king of the free kick out there. The first one smoked in there right on goal (recall this was against the wind) and the keeper made a great save and batted it down. After bouncing back and forth from team to team, Davey got a bounce about knee high and lazered it into the back of net. We're up 1-0. On the second free kick, Chad launched the kick right on goal again. Boones almost had the 2-0 lead but the ball barely hit the top cross bar and bounced down. Half time with the 1-0 lead.
As we were all smoking and relaxing at half time, those Coppell kids could not sit still and went out and took practice shots (oh to be 19 again).
The second half started and Boones had some more great chances. Georgie had a good shot. Dave had a couple. Brian White barely missed a sweet cross from Joel. Chad again had a couple of free kicks that almost went in. On one of those free kicks (or maybe it was a corner?) - Tutt was there and headed the ball on goal. It hit the top cross bar, bounced back out and Jamie headed it on goal. The ball again hit the top crossbar and bounced out and Brady went up and headed it on goal again. That header just cleared over the cross bar. Crazy ace play!
Jamie decided that 1-0 was not enough and took on their entire defense. He stole the ball from a few dudes then raced to the goal. He was tackled by two defenders and the goalie but kicked the ball at the last second and found the goal. Incredible hustle play! Boones 2 - Coppell 0. The next play was amazing. Brownie made some great saves and was the man at keeper! But obviously the dude wants to score goals too ... so he launched a punt with that wind that headed right towards their goal. Brady went chasing after it but the ball took a killer bounce (or two bounces) and their keeper was up just a little too far. He had to jump up for the ball ... but that punt was perfect and he was only able to get a finger on it. Brownie scored a freakin goal as keeper! How sweet is that!
This will hopefully help our playoff chances. Great win Boones!
