The Cats played a determined Clinton team tonight and came away with a 8-0 win. Clinton showed spunk and spirit, holding the Cats to three goals in the first half after putting Ruskin out of the tournament with an 8-0 game just hours before. The Cats came back in the second half and added five more goals. The best one I can remember was a sweet header that Karson Wilson scored early in the second half. Alex Erickson served a perfect ball to Karson as she crossed the box making a run toward the near post corner. She was able to deftly turn and head the ball back to her right to the far side netting, beating the defenders and keeper who had swung to the right. I had tears in my eyes on that one. We sat behind a bunch of Clinton parents during the game and had a great time cheering for both teams. They even shared their Twizzlers with us. Awesome! Both teams played hard and went home knowing they gave it their all. Well done ladies!

I was having nightmares about the field with all the rain we've had lately but was pleasantly surprised with how well it looked and played. There were only a couple spots that looked like it slowed the ball down and the ladies adjusted well. Hoping the weather holds for Thursday and Friday games this week. Thanks to Bolivar and their volunteers for what I would assume was a ton of work to get the fields ready for the event.
I caught the last 20 minutes of the Marshfield vs West Plains game and it looked pretty even as far as possession went but Marshfield was able to capitalize on a few chances and put the game away. We will face them Thursday in the semifinal round. I don't think I'll be able to make that game but Judith may be able to make it and get some pictures.
