It was another tough one to swallow for the 7th/8th grade soccer team, as they give up the game winning goal in the final minute of the game.
On the flipside, would you rather lose a game or have the game end in a draw, because that's the way the match was headed.
Neither team looked like they had much, if any energy until midway through the 3rd quarter. With the 10 a.m. start, both teams just went through the motions in the first half, neither team mustering a shot on goal.
Alan had a golden opportunity to put the boys ahead with a penalty kick in the 3rd quarter, but rushed his attempt, shooting the ball right at the goalie.
Garrick had a chance a little later on but kicked a bouncing ball over the net.
The defense held for 47 minutes, but needed to hold for 48. With several of the defenders out of position, a player on the other team managed to find himself right in front of the net to bang in the game winner, leaving Thomas with no chance to make the save.
It has been disappointing and frustrating for the 7th/8th grade (1-6) as they have now lost three games by one goal. They seem to play just well enough to lose.
Their final game of the season, and for most of these boys, their soccer careers, will be next week in a championship rematch from 2012.
