They played a well-contested and hard-fought match with playoff intensity, and the Marauders emerged with a 1-0 victory, courtesy of a Sam Pych goal, converting a corner kick by Liam Collins. Truth be told, Hanover dominated the match and left half a dozen goals out their, but aside from the lack of finishing, the Marauders were pretty polished, and continue to improve every day.
Tomorrow the Marauders head to their annual retreat at the Windridge Sports Camp in Roxbury, VT. They will leave at 8:00 a.m. from the front of HHS. They will play Burr and Burton at 10:30, Essex at 4:00, and Rice, the defending VT Division One Champion, at 9:45 before heading back to Hanover. They will change their socks, eat a few granola bars, and head to Lebanon for a 4:00 scrimmage. Then it will be time to hunker down of a few days of training, in preparation for Friday's road opener at Londonderry.
Packing list of Windridge: Two sets of soccer gear (shirts, shorts, socks); soccer shoes and shin guards; casual shoes/sandals; sleeping bag or bedding; pillow; bathing suit and towel; toiletries/meds; flashlight/headlamp; casual clothing for Monday postgame and evening; jammies; stuffies to keep Larry company: check for $55 made out to Windridge Sports Camp. Packing update: It's going to be COLD Monday night. Everyone should bring sweats and warm clothing for the campfire.
Monday is also the first of the two final tryout days for the three subvarsity teams. Each session will be from 10:00 a.m. - Noon. All players, including everyone who tried out last week, should attend. We'll be welcoming a significant number of players coming out for the first time this season, and will be focusing on them in scrimmage situations as we prepare to finalize the JV, Freshman and Reserve teams. The latter two teams will be finalized on Tuesday night as they prepare for opening games on Friday. The Reserve roster will remain more fluid until the start of next week as we deal with the challenge of our total of 116 players out for soccer this year. We're equal to that task!
Please remember that there is a meeting for all players and parents on Thursday, August 25 at 6:30 at the high school. The meeting will be in two segments: there is a general 30-minute presentation in the Auditorium, and then a soccer-specific one in the Gym that will also last 30-35 minutes. Please plan to attend, even if this is your fourth year and you've seen it all and heard it all before.
Here's our schedule for the week ahead (and the start of the following one!): We'll do this every Sunday evening from now until the end of the season.
