Parents should probably not get this excited about a soccer game. After all, it is "JUST a game". Isn't that what we tell our kids?
Still, I am still pretty pumped from the Riverton High soccer 3-0 win against Bingham (our biggest rivals).
One, McKayla saw her most varsity playing time ever (well over half the game) and played well. This is especially nice since 11 members of her club team play for Bingham.
Two, there were some amazing, acrobatic saves by our keeper giving her her 7th shutout in a row! She is outstanding!
Three, it was nice to overcome in a game where the ref made 29 calls for Bingham for every one for us (even ignored a blatant red card offense by the other team). I try not to complain about the refs too much but this game was so out of control that 2 of our players had to be carried off the field. Scary!
Four, this win clinched the Regional Title for Riverton! This means a higher seed in the state playoff brackets.
Five, this win should mean Riverton goes unbeaten in region play (always the chance that they could fall apart).
