Hot Coyotes Sizzle on a Cold Day.

Coyote in the Cold

On a cold, overcast day at Heartland fields, with rain threatening to move in, Team Coyote took to the fields scorching hot! 

"I think it is one of two things", Coach Art commented after the game, "Either it is the natural fur coat that Coyotes have, or the fact that all that running up and down the field keeps the 'Yotes toasty warm while they are playing."

Once again, the team came our ready and eager to play.  The cold did not seem to affect their performance at all.  It took a couple of minutes, and some defensive play, but the Coyotes finally got the first goal of the game midway through the first quarter.  It was academic from that point forward, and when the final whistle blew, Team Coyote racked up it's 2nd win in a row by a score of 7-2!!

The team looked sharp as they defended their goal and won the ball from the other team several times.  It appeared as if some of the passing drills we worked on in practice last week began to have an effect, as Akil and Cole combined on several passes leading to scores.



Coyote Call for Kendal, Rebekah and Devin



Coyote Kendal got her first ever goal yesterday!  (That deserves a Coyote Call  here!)  GREAT JOB Kendal!  Her play has drastically improved since last Fall, and she has become more aggressive on the field this Spring.  It paid off for her yesterday, as she won the ball from an opposing player near her own goal and did a beautiful kick into the corner of the net.

Also finding the net for the first time this season were Rebekah and Devin! Can we get another Coyote Call here?  Great job!  In fact, All the kids played their little hearts out and deserve kudos for a job well done.  Nick came very close to scoring his first goal...he took a great shot, but it hit the post and bounce wide!  Keep it up, Nick...I promise you, ONE of those shots (and many more) is going to find the target!

Gavin, Nick, Cole, and Akil did an outstanding job in defending the goal and breaking up the other team's breakaways!  Devin hustled down field every play and was involved in challenging for the ball constantly.  Keep it up 'Yotes!

Jonas was unable to be with the team yesterday, as he was back at the den sipping warm cactus juice and nibbling on stewed rabbit trying to get over a bad cold.  We missed him and hope he is feeling better and look forward to seeing him next time.

And now, another adventure of Wiley E. Coyote and that pesky Roadrunner.  Enjoy!
