I missed our makeup game on Friday, but one of the moms volunteered to take over, and a couple of the dads then helped out on the day, and apparently it all went well. We had six kids, they had five, everyone had fun, but we lost. (The mom who took over was actually happy we lost because the other team was one of the ones that doesn't have many wins. So I say good for them.)
I did make tonight's game, though, which turned out to be epic. We only had eight kids, so we could only sub off two at a time, and a couple of kids ended up playing a whole half with no break. Fortunately, they're all keen enough that that wasn't a problem.
The other team was one of the toughest in our division, and their goalie for the first half was amazing. So amazing our parents were actually cheering when she stopped a goal. But our best player was back and she managed to score a couple on her. Ros was our first goalie, and managed to keep everything out. Their goalie in the second half was pretty good too, but we got two more goals on her, and they only got two on us. Final score: 2 - 4 for us.
Best thing was every kid on our kid really dug in, and kept in the other team's end for most of the game. We're still not passing much, and occasionally stripping the ball from a teammate, but they're definitely coming along.

hc_bingo story. And it's Pros! The first couple of thousand words came really easily, but now I'm trying to figure out where the story's going. Hopefully my muse will get it sorted out soon. And I'm hoping to get another Pros story or two out of my bingo card.
