Bittersweet Defeat
Well, we had our district semi-final soccer game yesterday against Plattsmouth. Unfortunately, it was our last game of the season. We were a little nervous going into the game because we had already lost to them in the second game of the season, but that was then and thing had changed through the season. We were doing good for most of first half. We had more possession and shots. We scored the first two goals, but then about ten minutes later, they scored their first goal which let us know it was going to be a long game. Going into the second half, we were confident and knew that as long as we did what did at the beginning of the game, we could win the game. They were awarded a goal off of a penalty with about 10 minutes left in regulation. We held strong in both halves of overtime until there was about 2.5 minutes left. I accidentally fouled a kid down by the right corner, which i was infuriated about. The kid crossed the ball in and I know for a fact that no one would even attempt this shot, and it floated to the back post and bounced off of it and in. We couldn't believe it and you could tell by the disgraced look on our faces. It was a tough loss, but both teams were well deserving of the applause we got afterward. (to end on a postive note I guess...)
