Blue Skies & Ultraviolet Rays


In theory, the weather improves as the girl's soccer season goes on. This is just a theory, as we have seen some cruel reversals of the trend in years past. Remember this game? Or the floods before this one? This time, however, the theory held up as the Coughlin/HR rematch got underway on one of the nicest days of the season thus far. Complaints abounded about the heat, which just goes to show that you really can't please everyone.

This battle was almost a mirror image of the first matchup. This time, Coughlin jumped out to an early lead, HR pressed to comeback and force overtime. Unlike the last game, the first overtime period determined the winner, as the Royals pulled out a much-needed victory. Both teams have apparently locked up playoff spots, so fans of either team can look forward to an extended season.

Too much real job has delayed these shots long enough, so I'll be brief here-

Look carefully at this shot of Allie- that is blood on her face, legs and jersey. This was a great game.

My favorite pictures tell a story all by themselves. Here are 2 similar, but reversed tales.

Amanda, (who always wears pink) identified herself from some indoor shots this past winter. Now she's appearing more and more. It's that easy to get on FF.

Not yet.

If you picked up on the lyric in the title to this post, then you may also appreciate this-

Pale invaders and tanned crusaders
Worshipping the sun.....

If you are missing all of those references, congratulations on having some sort of life.

Sadly, this may be the end of girl's soccer for the season at FF. Our staff is headed to the remote southern headquarters next week, and may or may not be back for the playoff matches. This will, of course, depend on how deep either team goes- so good luck all around!

Gallery of shots from the game is here. Lots of UCPs, leave some comments so they can become ICPs. (no, that has nothing to do with this nonsense.)

Here's the whole site.

Cya.
