Demonstrating commendable flexibility and adaptability, the Freshman team tamed Winnacunnet High School 4-0 in a match that surprised everyone on the home side. Switched from the week ahead, the match was scheduled for today, but Coach Grabill erroneously listed it as a Thursday game on the weekly schedule and blog. Imagine his surprise today as he greeted the freshmen, all geared up for practice, and then greeted the Winacunnet bus. A quick exchange of phone calls and it was clear that today was the day. Fortunately, the freshmen had arrived early, started warming up on their own, and were mostly clad in their spiffy practice jerseys. A few mouth guards were magically produced, and the game went on as scheduled. You can see the full report of the match in this space tomorrow, but it was an excellent performance for the Marauders. They nearly scored half a dozen times in a scoreless first half, and then calmly created some excellent goals to win going away. Peter Burnham's goal was a memorable one!
Also demonstrating flexibility were the other three Hanover teams, who crammed onto the second field at Dresden, all 85 of them, and had productive practices.
The Reserves will host Oliverian tomorrow, and all three other teams will have plenty of room to train!
