Soccer Update-Scrimmage 9.14.09

Today we had a scrimmage against Falmouth Academy. We lost 6-2, but like the Nantucket game, it wasn't as bad as it seemed.
Falmouth Academy is a better team than Nantucket is, and we actually managed to score two goals against them. We were doing really well in the first half, which I got to play in. By halftime, the score was 2-1, Falmouth Academy. We did manage to score another goal early in the second half, but then, FA was able to score two more goals.
I played in both the first and second half, which shows me that my skill is improving, because Coach let me play earlier, and for longer than he did in the Nantucket game. I know that this was just a scrimmage, but it still felt really good to play against a tough team. I headed the ball several times, and I hope that I was able to set an example for some of my teammates who are not quite as enthusiastic about heading the ball as I am. Hopefully, Coach will put me into the game a bit sooner than he did for the Nantucket game, for our game on Friday.
