I’ve got to blog about last night’s game while it is still
fresh in my mind. No, that’s not because we won, although we came
close. Very, very close.
We started out behind like always, letting them take the
first half 2-8. We even gave them the first point of the second
half, so it was 2-9.
I went in that next point, and my defender stepped on my
foot really hard. It was an accident, but I had to step off the
field and our captain took my place. That must have been what we
needed because we went on a five point run to make it 7-9. Seriously,
one caused the other, right? It couldn’t have been a coincidence.
We let them get another few points, but we went on another
run to make it tied at 13’s. Our previous best score was 8, and we’d
never tied that high up. Sadly, they got the final two points and
won.
Oh, and did I mention the sprinklers came on for the last
half a dozen points? It was only on about a third of the field, but
still. Plus the lights stayed on later than they should have so we
actually finished the game. If they’d gone off at 10, we would have
tied.
Personally, I had my ups and downs. They were
poaching off my on D, so I got to be opened quite a bit. Sadly, I
was overthrown quite a few times. There’s nothing you can do when
the disc sails right over your head. On the other hand, I caught it
a few times as well and mostly passed it on successfully. I did miss
one throw.
But the moment I’m proudest of? I successfully
threw a score! One of the times I caught it, I had a wide opened
shot to two of our women in the end zone, and I successfully threw it down the
field to her, missing her defender. I was sure someone from the
other team would intercept it, but no, we scored. I was grinning so
big when that happened.
