Playoff Game One No-Gos

1. Franchise - going to Cancun...I'm pretty sure Cancun is open other weekends.
2. Stu Brown - actually had eye surgery today from his injury playing indoor soccer last Wednesday night before we played in Balch Springs. He will miss the rest of the season. Get better quickly Stu!

A couple of words about our Stu Brown...maybe his best season yet. He clearly found Lt. Dan's magic legs and scored several uplifting goals in tight games. Heckuva season Stu.

To reiterate Julio's uniform reminder, bring both jerseys and black socks.

First Place

Guys,

We finished in first place by 3/100's of point. Yes .03. It also didn't hurt us that we only played 8 games. Even though I'm confident we would have won our game which would have given us first place outright.

So, let's step on throats now. We play at 1:00 on Sunday against Real Suburbia at Premier Park #3. We played them 2 weeks ago at RE Goode, shorthanded and won 2-1. If you recall, this was the PK game. Us hitting ours and Bent blocking theirs. We played really poor in the first half, but much better in the second.

Please let me know in advance if you will not be at the game. We need everyone there if possible.

We are wearing blue shirts, black socks.

Welcome to the playoffs. Win the ball, win the game.

Last Game Rained Out - Playoff Time

Thanks for making the effort to get out to the game tonight. I wish we could have played, but better to keep everyone safe than sliding around on a pretty muddy field I'm sure.

Here is where we stand...the rainout could have cost us first place tonight. MUFC played Dragon earlier today. If MUFC won, then they get first. If MUFC lost and we would have played and won, we would be in first. We'll see how that plays out.

Our PLAYOFF game is next Sunday at 1:00PM - Premier Park. Field will be determined this week once all the scores are received. It will be field 3 or 4.

Uniform for next week: blue shirts/black socks

Keep checking the blog for more updates.

Win the ball, win the game,

From Dallas News Dot Com

I found this on the Internet:

In Grapevine on Nov. 1, an adult soccer player kicked a referee after being penalized and then ran into nearby woods, Grapevine police said Monday. That incident happened shortly after 1:30 p.m. at a soccer field at Meadowmere Park near Lake Grapevine.

This happened shortly before our 8-0 win againts Jay's team.
I like the ran into the nearby woods part.
Funny.

11/8 Game

As I mentioned before the game, please keep Mickey and his family in your prayers. His Brother finally lost his long battle with cancer. He had two sons who lost their Father. Pray for their understanding and guidance.

Interesting game today guys. First half was not our best this season, very humid and we were low on subs. Second half saw a resurgence of better team play and it looked like we finally got our legs back under us.

A few of my notes before #10 Pele Julio's awesome email summary.

1. Hussle wins games period. Stu Brown scored the first goal and his hustle drawing the foul in the penalty box secured the second.
2. We were better conditioned that the other team. You may need to read that sentence again.
3. Preston laid some wood on a guy in the penalty box. Darren Woodson would have been proud.
4. Bent bailed us out by stopping the penalty kick and then making an outstanding move in blocking the retry while taking out one of their players who was called for a foul.
5. Halfbacks showed a ton of grit today. Excellent hussle and attacking. I wasn't sure if Georgie was going to make the second half but really gutted it up. Good job guys.

We play Maccabi again on Thursday at 7:00PM. Please let me know if you are not going to be at the game.

No-Go = Brownie, Joel, Todd, Mucio

Uniform Plan

Boones Players,

We need a uniform plan for the next two weeks.

Our Sunday games are both "home" make-up games and the two teams we play are blue. We play Maccabi on our Thursday (Nov 12) game and they are white.

I suggest the following:

1. 11/8 - 3PM - RE Goode #5 - Real Suburbia (from 9/13) Yellow jersey w/white socks.

2. 11/12 - 7PM - Maccabi -- Premier Park #6 Blue jersey w/black socks.

3. 11/15 - 7PM - Hobby #8 - RoyalsFC (from 10/4) Yellow jersey w/white socks.

I am assuming everyone has a yellow jersey?

BLOG Updated

Guys,

I like the full team on the new pic. The ball is offcenter, but I will try to fix this with photoshop once I get back home.

The schedule is updated on the right side. Any future rainouts will not be rescheduled.

Easy win yesterday. Don't get complacent... 3 more games to go before the playoffs.

Let's win out.
