Soccer Game

Today I went to a high school girl's sectional championship soccer game right here at our stadium. This just wasn't any high school game and any high school team, but a team that was from where I am from. This team, was Lyme. Lyme is about twenty minutes from my house, which is pretty much in the middle of no man's land. Lyme is a school who graduates under 100 students a year, because their population is so small. I believe that the total population is around three hundred and fifty students. Well today they were playing McGraw, which I think is a bigger school than Lyme is so therefore I automatically assumed that McGraw was more than likely going to crush them. However I was wrong. Lyme scored in the first half and maintained possession of the ball for almost the whole game. They were the ones in control of the game, and that was obvious. Each girl was sprinting to where they needed to be and knew what they needed to do. By looking at this team, you could tell just how well they "gel" together. Whenever someone on the team had the ball, they would not have to look up to see where their fellow teammates were because they knew where they would be. It was unbelievable to see such a small school, from which I have always known, come out on top and be a sectional champion. This is the first time in about twenty years that Lyme has captured the title.
