This past week, we were in Canada. Liz was there as a chaperone and as a coach. We played the top team in Canada, the Lady Blue Knights. Our 2024s played their U15 Elite team, and held their own.
Afterwards, one of the coaches approached me and Liz. He said he saw her throwing around and wanted her to demonstrate stickwork for his team. Turns out he had watched her on Youtube before, as had some of his players.
Noah played this year for FCA. He was their leading scorer. They mostly played him at midfield because of his speed and scrappiness. But occasionally he got to play attack. Last weekend, in one game, his team won 6-4; in that game, Noah scored 4 goals and had two assists. I rarely got to go to his games, so Marcia started filming them towards the end. I returned though from Canada with Liz on Saturday, and got to see his last two games on Sunday for FCA this summer.
On Saturday, he scored three goals in two games, and had two assists in very little time. In the first game on Sunday, he barely stepped on the field in the first half, but got a goal. In the last game, they played him most of the game at attack, his natural position. He scored one goal early in the game, and late in the game, the score was tied at 4. At the end of regulation, it was still tied at 4, and so they went into overtime. They won possession and called a timeout. Below is the video from after the timeout.
