I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that you enjoyed time with family and friends. For most of us the lights are taken down, trees put away, and the decorations boxed up and it is time to move on with a brand new year. This is at least true for me, and part of that is getting back in the groove with the team website. So, let's get started.
Game 9 recap:
If you are observant you will see that there is no recap for game #8 but we lost 1 - 5 and that is all that should be said about.
Game #9 is another story. After the holiday break we instilled a new formation and only practiced two times with it before this Saturday's game. As you know this Saturday was not just any game, it was the game circled on the calendar at the beginning of the season, it was the game for bragging rights, it was WCAA Inferno verses the WCAA Storm, it was... THE RIVALRY.
Two good teams clashed today for, what I consider, the best game of the year. The game started with both teams feeling the other out with the Inferno seemingly controlling the tempo. The Inferno's defense was controlling the Storm's offense and giving the Inferno's offense several scoring opportunities but were not able to deliver. Then in one breakdown, it only takes one, the Storm scored first. However, the Inferno did not hang their heads and give up, instead they continued to play hard and were able to tie the game before halftime. In the second half the Storm made adjustments and were able to grab the tempo for a short while and in that moment almost took the lead but our defense stood their ground and the Inferno's coaches made adjustments of their own. Then the Inferno were able to take the tempo back and scored their second goal . The Storm put up a great effort but the Inferno continued to play hard down the stretch and were able to hold them off until the game was over, winning by the score, 2 - 1.
I want to say this was the best game I had seen the Inferno play. Every single player gave it all they had for the entire game. We should all be very proud of our players, I know I am.
