5th/6th grade fall in first game, 7th/8th grade play next week

For a team that has practiced twice before their first game, a 0-0 tie going into halftime would've been as good as a lead.

But a late defensive miscue in the first half when a ball was cleared right to a player on the other team led to a goal and put the boys behind 1-0 after two quarters.

There were numerous scoring opportunities, as the 5th/6th graders were able to push the ball up-field for portions of the game, but they were unable to convert. They were shutout 3-0 in their first game of the year.

It was 1-0 going into the fourth, but two late goals made the final score a three goal deficit.

For their first game, they played pretty well, but found themselves bunched up together when they had the ball. Spacing and timing was not there, and that's something expected of a young team.

Thomas made his first career start in goal.

7th/8th Grade Game Next Week
The 7th/8th grade will play their first game of the season next Saturday, not today. Sorry for the confusion.
