This evening the boys went to Bloomfield Hills to play a very tough Brother Rice squad. They made it to the semi-finals last year in Division 2 and we can see why. They beat us 4-0 and were in control pretty much the whole game. We put up a fight, but they were strong at every position.
Another good game against an all-senior team. Played straight up until the 68th minute when Holt got one in. We are playing much better than last year, but still have to find a way to get the ball into the net. Good competitive game, though.
Tonight the Bulldogs went up against a tough, senior-filled East Lansing squad and played them to a 0-0 tie until the final 2 minutes when East Lansing had luck go their way and they scored. It was an excellent game and was hard to accept the last minute goal. But the boys can hold their heads up high as they took this top notch program and played with them.
This past week we got a visit from the Nath's! And Wednesday through today we had Rachel and Danielle with us. Unfortunately, I was working so I missed out on most activities. Here are a couple photos the kids took from the visit.
Bulldogs played two scrimmages today against Gaylord and Harbor Springs. I was helping finish up a project for a friend so I missed their first game in which they beat Gaylord 4-0. Alex scored, so I was disappointed about missing it. However, the boys made up for it against Harbor Springs, beating them 7-0! And Alex scored again, on a corner kick in which he inbound the ball and it curved into the goal surprising the goalie. It was cool and raining but so worth it!
Mason had scrimmages today with three different teams in East Lansing. I was able to go to 2 of the games and they won one and lost one. It was a packed house at the complex with teams from all over the state.
Last night/this morning was Mason's annual midnight game to kick off the soccer season. Alex's team won 4-1 and I forgot how to not trust the weather. No mention of rain when we left and it poured the entire second half. Hopefully we got all the rain out of the way for the season.......yeah.
