Game 7

We have played SEVEN games already??!!??

Another win and another windy day. There was some major wind out there. Not much of a game. We dominated the game, yet we were terrible at the same time.

Recap:

We were against the wind in the first half. The wind was absolutely brutal. Someone on our team said that running against that wind was like running with a parachute on. Boones played a decent first half. We had some chances on offense despite going against that wind. After some near misses, the ball found Big Dave and he lined up and launched a left footed shot of perfection. Boones 1 - 0. Metro had a few chances in the first half with the wind at their back. Their best chances were off corners and long distance shots where the wind did crazy things to the ball. Chris would normally handle these with ease, but the ball was going all over the place and a few got away from him. Luckily the defense was able the clear them out and the crossbar saved us on one.

Things were looking up in the second half. We had the wind at our back and Metro was only able to cross mid-field a few times. Chris had zero action in the second half. Boones probably had 20 shots in the second half. The bad part of this is that their keeper only had to make a few saves because most of our shots were high. Metro probably had 15 goal kicks in the second half.

We did win some corner kicks. After about 3 to 5 failed corner kicks, Boones was finally able to seal the deal. Thanks to an excellent corner by Joel and a defender to head it in, Boones took a 2 - 0 lead.

There have been many superior athletes to wear the number 99 in sports like hockey, football, and baseball. But what about the greatest number 99 in soccer? My I submit to you Preston McKinney. Preston was the defender that clinched the victory for Boones against Metro by scoring that header off of Joel's corner. We needed that goal after missing SO MANY SHOTS in the second half. It was huge. Go Defense!

Notes:

Everyone on Metro wanted to beat up or yell at Tutt. Apparently he was pushing all their people around.

Missing in action was Stu Dawg, Todd, Brady, and Mucio.

I think I heard that is was Clay's birthday. You are old.

One of Metro's players apparently played pro soccer in Germany. The reason I know this - he made a special trip by walking over to our team after the game to tell us this. I think Dave or Nutz hurt his feelings during the game.
