Soccer playoffs


The Blues Bros soccer team lost on Saturday. We had beaten this opponent before, 3-0, so we were favored to win. Unfortunately, our keeper fumbled 2 balls in the goal in the first quarter which set up the opponents for an early lead. The Blues Bros rose to the challenge when Garrett scored our first goal, on an AMAZING penalty kick he took when his brother was knocked to the ground (with a few extra tumbles!!!) We tied up the score 2-2, but the other team scored again. Ugh. In the last minute of play, Blake forced the ball off an opponent in the end zone, Garrett took the corner kick, and Blake headed it - and it almost went in! So close, yet the game ended, 3-2. Interestingly, all the underdogs won their games on Saturday!! We have one final game next Saturday at 1:00.

Sounds like the Thomas brothers really came to play. Sorry to hear about the loss guys but it sounds like you gave it your all. (Perhaps it's time to make a switch at goalie?)
