Two Games Down on Opening Weeked - Bantams are 2-0

The Boy's Bantam team had a great first weekend.  On Saturday they played Ozaukee and for their first game after two practices, they did amazing.  The made a lo of great passes, catches and shots and ended up winning the game 7-0.  we had 5 different kids score, led by Chace Meo with 3 goals and Blake Schumann played great in goal and earned a rare shut out.  Niko Rodriguez, Andrew Scanron, Mason Anderson and Aiden Anderson all had their first goals of the year and for most it was their first LAX goal ever.

On Sunday we payed a good TriCity Titans Team and the score was close all day.  We learned a lot about how we need to play defense against good teams and in the end we came out on top by 1 goal. Final score was 9-8 with 5 different kids scoring. Today our scoring was led by Mason Anderson with 3 goals and Chase Meo with 2 more goals.  Nathan Wade, Kyson Yarbrough (2) and Graham Winnie all scored their first goals of the season. 

What I'm really impressed with was how well they play defense and how many successful passes they make already.  Kids this age don't usually do so well so quickly after picking up the sport. 

I'm not expecting to win all our games this season but I do think this is going to be a super fun.  They are a fun group to coach and I'm looking forward to watching how good they can be when we continue to work on the fundamentals and increase our LAX IQ.
