Best season yet!

I have coached field hockey for 4 years and this past season we won it all! My girls worked so hard this season and it showed. They scored 26 goals with only 2 against and only lost one game. The girls finally figured out how to score this year! I always tell them that I'd buy a candy for the girl who scores....unlike in years before where we only had about 6-7 goals the whole season, I was buying candy after every game. They were cleaning me out! At the North County Tournament they dominated during pool play and during the semis and finals it was pretty even. Both games went into overtime and I never want it to come to that again. I have to say this is the best team I have coached so far. I will be losing 9 8th graders, but all my returning players will be ready for next year. Coaching is my passion and hopefully I can move up to the high school level, but for now I love my middle school girls.
