BHS Soccer vs. Amery

I would love to start this post by saying we won our soccer game on Thursday night against Amery, but, alas, I cannot. Our boys, however, played an AWESOME game! They held Amery the first half of the game, and we were tied 0 to 0 at half time! (just a reminder, we played Amery our first game of the season, and they beat us 0 to 10...) Our guys looked really good out on the field, and the ball was on our end of the field most of the first half.

Unfortunately, the second half of the game, we gave up 3 goals, and never were able to score any ourselves, so we ended up losing with a score of 0 to 3, final. Even though the final score didn't reflect it, our team has IMPROVED tremendously throughout the season, and we are confident that if we keep playing this well, we may still pull off a win or two before the season is through!
GO BEARS!

Austin just had a GREAT HEADER! Look closely at the top of the picture, and you can just see the very bottom of the ball--I am always just a millisecond too late with my trigger finger!Austin and his team continue to play hard, and we are proud of how they are doing. Austin, especially, shows great sportsmanship, and is a great leader for the team on the field. He is a good kid!
