Yay! Yay! Yay!! KJ finally had an official high school lacrosse game! They lost by 1 but considering our girls have only been on the field two or three times, I'd say it was a success! The weather has been so horrible and has totally wrecked the fields so they've mostly been in the gym conditioning and working on stick stills. Some of the new girls were unsure about the hash marks, marking-up, etc. KJ is definitely one of, if not the most, aggressive player on the team (shocker!) and definitely has great stick skills. She still has a lot to learn but she really did great yesterday. She had a couple of shots on goal, didn't score, but still took the shot nevertheless. She played a little attack, she played a little defense as well. She likes attack better.
I love the girls' uniforms and naturally my child has to coordinate her cleats and shoelaces. She said they looked like a bunch of highlighters running around out there.
Unfortunately, Coach Stone couldn't be at the first game due to a family scheduling conflict but she asked Champ to help on the sidelines. He warmed up the goalie and helped the assistant coach run the lines and was very vocal from the sidelines (shocker!). I know it was killing him to keep quiet for most of the game and defer to the assistant coach but he did point out (rather loudly) to the ref that he awarded the ball to the wrong team. Ref acknowledged he made a mistake, gave the ball to us and game on.
Being a little sassy and giving a lot of attitude on the field.
