Rowdy Rascals v. Light Blue Team

I would put our opponents name but i don't have a schedule so i don't know what their name is. Thursday i prayed for rain again. No luck. We arrive and get down to the field to find that only two other players showed up. At least one was Dominick so i thought we had a chance. As the game begins i realize there are Dads coaching the other team. Like, real competitive dads. Great. They were playing four on our three. Well, the little brother didn't stay on the field so it was four on two. Anyway, we were doing pretty well. They were keeping time to the second and lining up their players like pros so i was happy that we were keeping up. Jack wasn't really feeling it but did keep up. At one point Jack got the ball mid-field, this was likely due to the fact that Dominick was sitting in his Mom's lap and Jameson was peeing in the bushes. He ran it down to the goal and was so close but one of the other three boys on the other team got the ball from him. From this point forward it was all down hill. Jameson wanted to go to his car so his dad obliged. Dominick was obviously very tired. He would kick the ball a few times and then go lay on his mom. Jack was left to play himself. The other team continued to play three and sometimes four players against Jack. He tried. I think the other coaches just wanted to win but finally Melissa said we were done. We still won by one or two. That is what they get for trying to play unfair. The upside was there were enough left over treats for Ella and John to have one so all the kids got to have a treat time together. They love that. Backup plan for next week : we are putting John in the extra shirt and sending him in. At least he would stay out on the field. :)
