One More!!

Well, Thursday night we played Desert Hills at the new Thunder Dome! It started out as a great game with Jaycie scoring her second Varsity goal. It was a bit comical, the Thunder goal keeper caught the ball but then dropped it. Jaycie followed through to the goal, but went to turn around when the goal keeper caught the ball. She then glanced back to see the goal keeper on her belly and the ball out of reach and still in play. Jaycie kind of looked at the goal keeper, looked at the ball and just lobbed it in for the score.........rather non-chalauntly! It was awesome! Later in the game Sara Gunn also booted the ball into the net from about the 40 yard line (maybe??) for an awesome long shot! We led the Thunder 2-0 but then they snuck in on our goal keeper Kylie Moore. Later in the game we fouled in the box to give the Thunder a PK which tied up the game........going into double overtime. We ended the game at around 10:30 at night sending the Thunder goal keeper home in the ambulance with a tied score. Jaycie said that she had heard that the goal keeper had knocked a vertebra out of place. We hope she'll be okay and will return for the season! I hadn't realized what a bad thing to tie up a game with a 3 A school would be, but it evidently brought our region points down so that we must definitely win our game with Dixie a week from Tuesday! Needless to say, we are still very proud of Jaycie as she continues to progress and earn a more solid Varsity spot! Stay tuned.....there will definitely be more to come!
