Complete Turnaround

Well for those of you who don't remember at this point last year we were 1-5 and hadn't scored a goal yet in the season. So as you can imagine it feels really good to be 5-1 and in first place at the half way point. Saturday we played another scrappy game and were rewarded with a 2-0 victory over Kennewick. Jared Brisbin and Corey Grady each scored their first goals of the season. Riese Byrd assisted both times and Brandon Hale earned his 3rd shutout of the year.

We're real proud of the way the boys have stepped up and are taking ownership of the season. There have been many times this season when it would have been easy to fold under the pressure and make excuses and so far we haven't seen that.

The way the next two games play out will really tell us what we're made of. On Tuesday we play at Hanford who is in second place one game behind us. If we don't win this game there will be another three way tie for first place. Then we play Kamiakin on Thursday who is also in second place one game back. We're still in a place that we can set our own destiny. We need to take every game one at a time and unfortunately we can't take a breath and enjoy where we're at, everything is still too close. So keep playing hard and beat Hanford tomorrow.

Game Note: The Hanford game times have been changed to 5:00 pm for JV and 7:00 pm for varsity to be played at Hanford's new soccer field on the East end of the schools property.
