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.
