Would The Heat - fresh off a tie with the tough Mustangs - upset the Cats, or would the Cats win one more match, and become the undefeated, and undisputed, champions of U-10 girl's soccer?
Happily, ladies and gentlemen, I can report that when the match ended, it was the Wildcats 7, The Heat 2. Yes, the Wildcats had done it....they had finished the season a perfect 8-0!
They were the Champs.
Mallory, Linda, Sarah, the Kat, Olivia, Pres, Blayne, Chesley, and Wendy Lou - what a terrific assortment of talented, good-hearted, and fun-loving girls. It wasn't always easy, but they never gave up, and they never lost a game. It was an honor to coach them.
They all played their hearts out in this final match, but it was Wendy's shining moment. She was absolutely tenacious when she had the ball, and scored 6 of our team's 7 points, a personal best. She led the team in scoring this season, with 16 goals in 8 games. Mallory was second with 10 goals, and Blayne third with 7.
Here's a smattering of photos from this last game. I apologize for the quality; there was a smudge on the camera lens. You can click on any photo to enlarge it.
The game begins. Wendy and Blayne begin the game on the bench, like tigers - or Wildcats - waiting to spring.
Blayne enters the game, and finesses the ball past an opponent.
Blayne and Olivia wait to go in.
Hannah of The Heat turns the ball, and the Wildcat defense springs into action.
