Itโs taken a couple of days to find the words.
Friday didnโt end the way we had dreamed. After making the hour-and-a-half trip Thursday night, waiting through a weather delay, driving home, and making the same trip again Friday morning, our season came to an end against a very talented Aplington-Parkersburg team.
The conditions werenโt ideal, and we found ourselves playing their game instead of ours, but one thing never changedโฆ
๐ป๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
I couldnโt be more proud of this team and everything they accomplished this season. They bought into a new style of play, a culture built on faith, teamwork, and our ๐จ๐ณ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ต mentality. They trusted each other, they trusted the process, and they played for something bigger than themselves.
This wasnโt a season carried by one player. Every match, someone new stepped up. We celebrated first varsity goals that turned into second and third goals. We battled through injuries, adapted when things didnโt go our way, and asked a freshman goalkeeper to step into some of the toughest matches of the season. She answered the call, just like so many others did.
Friday also marked the end of an incredible career for our lone senior, ๐จ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐. Ava, thank you for your leadership, your heart, and for helping build the foundation of what this program is becoming. Your impact will be felt for years to come.
As I told the girls after the game, unfortunately we lose an amazing seniorโฆ but fortunately, we get everyone else back.
We were young.
We grew together.
We believed together.
And after the tears were wiped away, they were already talking about next season. They were talking about getting back to work, getting stronger, improving their skills, and finishing what we started.
Over the next several days, Iโll be sharing and celebrating the players, moments, memories, and milestones that made this season so special.
We didnโt make historyโฆ yet.
But we built something that believes it can.
And thatโs where history starts.
