Game Seven, Win Six, Goals Seven and Eight

After Emilio's game in North Oklahoma City on Saturday concluded before 7 pm, he and I checked in to the Hampton Inn in Edmond. He took a shower, and then we went on a food hunt.  We came back with hummus from two different restaurants, lentil soup, white beans, roasted potatoes, a candy cookie, and oatmeal raisin cookie, a spicy pimento cheese sandwich, a green passion smoothie, and sweet potato sushi (with avocado and artichoke).

We slept in on Sunday, watched the Cowboys implode for a half against the Washington football team, and then drove to Guthrie for Emilio's 3:30 U16 game against Logan County. 

The game did not start promptly at 3:30. But within a minute or two after it did, Emilio is the last ASC player to get his toe on a ball that slowly makes its way through the keeper's legs to give us a 1-0 lead and to give Emilio his first goal.

One minute later, Emilio fields a crosser from Michael and delivers a cleaner score--his second goal of the game, and we're up 2-0.

One minute later, Coach Tyler pulled Emilio out, and he didn't play much more for the rest of the game, and when he did, he did not go back on offense.

We were up 6-0 at half-time, and the ref said that if we got to ten, the game would be called. In the end, we finished on top 8-2, and several players who had not previously scored this season got on the board.

We are now 4-0 on the season. Our next three games, though, will be against teams that are also undefeated.
