The Final Match... *tear*

Yesterday was the final match of the Heretics soccer team. The team had a good turn out (but not too many players) with a decent fan base present. On the sidelines there were spouses, a baby, friends, a gigantic hand and ribbon dancing all cheering the Heretics on.

The Heretics didn't play their best starting out, and at half-time were down 1-0 off an unlucky corner-kick. But as the game progressed the team was in it. There was some great chemistry happening on the front lines between Robert, Matt, Justin, and Beth especially. Dennis was the intense German we've all come to know and love. There was solid and encouraging coaching from Scott. Countless saves from Colin in goal and our scrappy and tough defensive line made a big difference in the heretical stopping of the opposition's offense.

Robert scored a goal and got his name written in ribbon dancing. This (the goal, not the ribbon dancing) got the team fired up to come back for the win. We took many more shots on goal second half, but were not able to score again and take the win. The season closer ended with a 1-1 tie.

Here is our end-of-the-year team photo with game faces and a very professional and high quality video of some offensive play. Listen carefully for the goalie yelling, "Don't let him shoot!" because it is scary for goalies when Robert gets that close and gets a shot off.
