Wild and Crazy Ride

Well, the season is over. My tenure as a Rome Wolf is over as well. It started with me happening to over hear a discussion over the need for a JV coach and ended with a missed PK in the first round of the state tournament.

Now that was something to see. We played Hillgrove, out of Cobb County, at their house and got lost on the way. Our top scorer was ill. He went home sick the day before and only came to school on game day so he could play that night. He played the whole game. Rome held Hillgrove scoreless for an hour. They scored one on us with about fifteen left on the clock. We got it back off a throw in with about two left on the clock. After that we kept it scoreless through double overtime.

Next we went to the mandatory 5 PK's apiece. Hillgrove hit the cross bar on one and Rome got blocked on one. After the mandatory five we went to one and one's. Rome made the first one as did Hillgrove. On the second one Rome got blocked and Hillgrove just did make their second. It was over after nearly 2 hours on the field.

Where ever I go next year (still no word on job offers) I hope it is a AAAA school, or at least GHSA, so I can get a game against Rome scheduled. If I can lead a team against those boys and beat them I can pretty much beat anyone. They want me to land on a team as well. It will be a fun game. Whenever it happens.

Lookie Lookie

Spending time getting Pearce's room ready for his arrival. The time grows shorter and shorter.

Moving On Along

Look at that changing dresser. I stripped it and stained it myself. The clothes on the dresser are waiting to be washed. You should see all the cute stuff Pearce is going to get to wear. I wish I were that small again. We need something to cover that filing cabinet. Take a look at the quilt. One of the girls that works at the Exchange Club with Kristi made that with out even asking about colors. Well, we are on our way to a proper nursery.

Rain Rain Come Again Another Day

Darlington wound up being a tie 1-1. That really is the best outcome for a rivalry that big. Of course Darlington didn't beat us 8-1 like the kids were bragging.
Dalton was postponed more later gotta go eat.

It's later. We lost to Dalton 3-1. The next night we beat Ringold and held on for 3rd in the region. Rome goes to Hillgrove in Powder Springs on Tuesday. Wish us luck.

Cutie Patootie and Late Soccer

Isn't this just the most adorable shot. He was jealous of the shots of Sara.

You may wonder why I'm posting so late on a school night, but there is soccer on TV. New England Revolution is getting mutilated by the refs. Chicago Fire could have beaten New England on their own but the refs had to be donkeys. They booked a Rev at 7 minutes it should have been a yellow at worst. Chicago had already scored. Next the refs gave Chicago a PK for tripping themselves in the box. Chicago had already scored again on their own. Finally, the refs did not see the Fireman set up camp on the wrong side of the Revs defense and he just takes a feed and pops it in front of the goal for a buddy to finish off.

Don't get me wrong. I am more than happy that Chicago won. They could have done it on their own with a 2-0 score. I just think the refs should control a game not influence the score. I was amazed that MLS uses Berry Refs.

Well, I'm going to bed before I get caught up in the Galaxy v Quakes. We've got Darlington tomorrow night. I so want to crush them. I'm still looking for a position over there.

Look Out for the Scout

It has lived through the winter. Pretty ain't it. Don't really need to say anything else.
