7 on 7

Meg has played all summer with the high school Varisty girls on Doug's 7 on 7 soccer team.  She has made every game and will only miss the last one of the summer season.  Doug really likes this league as it gives his team a lot of opportunity to play.  I thought Meg did very well for an incoming Freshmen.  She knows the Forward position extremely well, looks to pass, shoot or dribble past a weaker opponent.  I know she will be an important part of the JV team and I believe they have a chance to win several games.

Tonight she had to play Mid-Field.  Meg understands that position, but it is definitely not one of her favorites.  Doug wanted her to have experience at it this summer so if she is ever needed to play Mid-Field she will be ready.  She let me know after the game that it wasn't her favorite, but realized that her job is to help Doug and her team where needed.

My favorite play of the evening came in the second half of the Concord game.  The Wawasee girls really do not like the Concord teams.  They feel they play dirty and belittle them.  At one point Meg had a shot on goal and the goalie came out of the box and shoved her down.  Meg got right back up and shoved her back.  That was when another Concord player started laughing.  Meg thought about decking her and in all honesty I would have supported that.  Glad that the next time we play them there will be refs.

After the games all of the girls, coaches and a few of the parents went to Buffalo Wild Wings.  The service was slow, but I believe that everyone had a good time.  It was boneless Thursday which is one of our favorite nights to go.  Cam stayed home and went to the Minions movie with Grandpa Cutes.  It was a fun outing for him complete with DQ Blizzards and a new Spongebob episode.
