Monday morning quarterback

Monday morning quarterback
  • One who criticizes or passes judgment from a position of hindsight.
It looks like I have found a new theme for posts on Mondays, so we'll go with this for the time being. I used to do 3 Stars of the Weekend and I very well could. However in the past, people's feelings have gotten hurt when I acknowledge people for their achievements. In no way does congratulating those who have done well demean the efforts of others who didn't make the cut.

I remember one year I did a Player of the Week and someone cried cause they didn't get the distinction.


Girls Volleyball
Great win for the 8th grade girls, definitely up there among the best victories in the modern day era. This was basically the first game for five of the girls, with Serina not playing in a year and then Marissa who is playing for her third year. Though Marissa led the way, everyone had to chip in for this to happen. Marissa didn't serve every ball, she didn't return every ball. Way to start off the season and hopefully this win will give the girls confidence the rest of the way.

Soccer
A good game despite the loss for the 8th grade soccer team and a not so good game for the younger ones. For the older kids, they were able to score two goals, always a good sign. The goals came courtesy of two players from our neighboring school De Marillac Acamdey, Pablo and Miguel.

The defense was very thin Saturday and that resulted in seven goals, not a good sign. Granted they were playing without Miles for the first half when they gave up the first six, and also hobbling Marissa. They were also missing Gavin C.

On the bright side, Hartman, in only his second game played incredible and Gavin L. also had a really strong showing in the second half after a rough first.

For the youngsters, they were outmatched. They simply weren't as big and strong or powerful as the other team. What they can improve upon are their practice habits. At practice, they tend to fool around and not focus 100% and come game time, it's too late to get rid of the bad habits.
