2-0 Allegan Win...and More.

Girls, it was a nice rebound in the second half of today's game, but again, we NEED to exhibit that physical presence and possession offense for the ENTIRE course of a given game. Either way, job well done fighting through a sloppy game.

Next week's tentative schedule:

**Monday...home game vs. Unity at 4 PM...dress up for school...meet on the game field at 3 PM...ball girls, be ready.

**Tuesday/Wednesday: practice 3-5 PM

**Thursday: game AT Zeeland East at 5 PM.

**Friday...no school...home game vs. Hopkins at 4 PM.

Our theme for this next week is DETAILS. In other words, the team/individuals who pay attention to the small things (finishing every offensive run, making an honest effort on every 50/50 ball, going hard until hearing a whistle, being mentally focused at all times, finishing every sprint, even stretching and warming up properly, etc.) have the most success. It's that way in everyday life as well. So, how can YOU/WE get better with the DETAILS of the game on a daily basis? Let's make every effort to get better in this area.

Have a great weekend, girls. Look forward to a true challenge this Monday vs. Unity! Believe in yourselves!

Scheduling Update

Our canceled game vs. Calvin Christian this past Monday has been rescheduled for Thursday, May 5 at 4 P.M. (home).

Impressive 2-0 Win vs. Zeeland West

Girls, I meant what I said after the game today: it was one of the more impressive wins that i've witnessed in my history as Hamilton's JV girls soccer coach...what with the consistent physical play, teamwork, individual performances, and battling through the existing weather conditions...all against a quality opponent. Overall, a job well done, ladies!

You know (or should know) what's coming next from me though: we CANNOT become complacent all of the sudden. In other words, if we are simply satisfied with this win and start to get lazy, we're in for a letdown at Allegan on Friday and beyond. Let's prevent that from happening and keep working toward our team and individual goals!

We'll see you for practice tomorrow (Thursday) for important Allegan prep time...our next opponent.
