Never Been Happier with a Draw

Tonight we played our biggest rival in middle school soccer and ended the game with a score of one all. I've never been happier with a tie! The key to this week's success was moving Evan back on defense playing sweeper. We dominated possession the first half and left the first half with no score. With seven minutes left in the game, Keagan passed the ball to the forward who turned and knocked the ball into the corner of the net. It was a beautiful shot!

 

 

With three minutes left, the other team had a deflected shot and a trash goal. Tonight's game was important; it shifted our thinking back to a can-do mentality. It gave the boys (and this mama) hope!
