Trinity came into the game ranked #12 nationally, but the boys were looking forward to the challenge. Due to inclement weather throughout the week, we were forced to play the game at Denison High School's stadium.
The game started off quickly. We knew going into the game that we would be defending more than we were attacking, and did a good job of it for most of the first half. Chris Melton (Sherman, TX) and Sam Temple (Paris, TX) did a great job of working all over the field. In the 29th minute, though, Trinity would take the lead off of a corner kick. Four minutes later, a mishap on our part would allow Trinity to increase their lead to 2. The score would stay that way for the remainder of the half.
Even though we were down, the team still felt good about our chances. Several times in the second half, we looked and played like the better team. Unfortunately, we never found the back of the net. Trinity would score their third goal very late in the half when we were pressing to try and get a goal.
Despite the loss, the boys did a lot of good things. We fought hard against a quality team. Thanks to everyone who made the extra drive to the stadium to show their support for the team. GO ROOS!
