Thursday, September 10th v.s. Berwick

It certainly was beginning to feel like fall here in Bear Creek, and as we arrived at the field for our home game v.s. Berwick, we knew that in order to stay warm, we would have to keep moving. Berwick arrived soon after we did, and we were certainly outnumbered! After the coach/captains meeting at midfield, one of our insightful eighth graders reminded the team, "This is our house. We aren't letting them through the door!" This seemed to be all the encouragement needed as the game began. We started off playing extremely well, and our hard work paid off with a goal from Nora (assist from Brandon) as the first half got underway! At half time, Coach McFarland explained that we were "leading" the game. We needed to continue "winning" the ball, and "finishing" our shots in order to finish the game as winners. The second half began, and it was still getting colder outside. Nora was able to score again, to put us up 2-0, off another assist from Brandon! However, Berwick started to bang at the proverbial door, and was able to get a goal, making it 2-1. Brandon wanted to make sure that they weren't going to have a glorious comeback, and put the third goal in the net for the team, making the final score 3-1. We walked off the field having one our first game, and looking forward to a few more wins as the weeks go on! Way to go Bear Creek!
