Team Coyote came hungry and ready to play soccer this past Saturday. In a game that was all about strong performance and dominance, the 'Yotes looked like they were putting on a clinic at Heartland field.
From the opening whistle to the final whistle, the Coyotes dominated and controlled all aspects of the game. The other team was short handed on players, but from the outset, when all players were fresh, the Coyotes took complete control early and did not let up. By the end of the 1st quarter, Team Coyote was up 5-0.
It is necessary, I think, to congratulate the other team for their perserverance and effort. Despite having only 4 players (and no substitutes), they did not quit or give up. They stayed on the attack and gave the Coyotes several challenges throughout the game. They displayed a wonderful attitude and great sportsmanship, and for that, this Coach salutes the other team! Good job, guys!
It was one of those games that come along now and then where it was our turn to feast, and our team feasted like a pack of hungry Coyotes! Akil and Logan got the majority of the goals, with Rebekah and Cole adding one apiece as well. Kendall was very active on the field Saturday and had a couple of breakaways and a shot that went wide and out of bounds. Jonas also had a breakaway, but the one of the other team challenged and won the ball from him. Jack had some great throw-ins and a nice corner kick that set up Team Coyote on one of its goals. Great job, Coyotes! That is what happens when you play hard and as a team! Nick was out of town this last weekend and was missed by his team.
When the final whistle blew, the scorecard read 12-3 in favor of the Coyotes! Coyote Howl for the team effort Saturday! Good job, 'Yotes!
In other news, Team Coyote did not have practice last Tuesday, as Coach Art and a handful of soccer players attended the MTSU Blue Raiders Blackout in the 'Boro football game in Murfreesboro that night. MTSU recognized youth athletic programs throughout Middle Tennessee, and the kids that came in their soccer jerseys got to go onto the field at halftime and be recognized. It was kind of fun, but would have been better if the Blue Raiders had won their game against the Troy State Trojans. Coach Karen Davis (a U-8 coach) also attended the game with the few NYSA players that came.
We only have 2 more games left on this season, Coyotes....it seems like the season has literally flown by! So, let's go out there these last two games and play hard and with Coyote pride!
Since Halloween is also fast approaching, I thought you Coyotes might enjoy the following video:
