Split
Well Gang, we split this weekend although I am going to contest our game today against Coral Shores. If you haven’t guessed, I am back from our tournament down in the Keys. Wow, it was fun and it was so nice to see a community that supported its team so much.
The first game we played was against Key West. The boys looked awesome and I could not have been prouder. We came out with a 2 – 0 victory and the boys were floating on air. To see them with so much confidence and to come into the home town and over come the drums, screams, and fans that were routing against them, they did it.
Our second game was today and I am contesting it as I stated above. The dirty playing team did not have enough JV kids to play so they brought down 13 of the Varsity players who just got done losing to our Varsity. What is worse is they changed right in front of the refs and when I confronted the refs about this, they turned away and played dumb. So, I have 17 and 18 year old kids playing my 14-16 year olds. You may not think much of this but at this age, there is a huge difference in abilities. Besides, it is against the FHSAA rules to have a Varsity player drop to JV especially after just playing a game.
So, anyway, the guys are a bit bummed today and feeling down on themselves. Well, I repeated my speech from a few weeks ago to let them know that hey, you did an awesome job considering you were playing Varsity players. My guys held them until the last 20 minutes when they just scored 4 goals on us. The final was 0-6 and we just did not fair well.
Well, we have North Port on Tuesday and then my guys can rest their bumps and bruises for 5 days. Hopefully we can regain the momentum we once had. Keep us in your prayers.

Its good to see that you are bringing up issues like that which you are contesting. Your team will understand and Im sure they will take prionciples from playing and practicing to their life.
Im in a mood to relate aberything to everything.
After a hectic schedule like you and your team have had It says a lot that they still played clean and kept on going.
