8 wins 0 losses!

A quick shout out to Mitchell... his JV soccer team at Bonanza is 8-0. Thursdays game was tough... several of the boys on the team couldn't play this week because their grades are too low (that's a whole other discussion for another post... one month into school and you are failing classes????)... anyway, they played against Bishop Gorman (for you out of towners, they are the private rich Catholic school) and they definitely didn't have any grade problems... it looked they could have fielded two teams. So, our 11 boys played in near 100 degree heat with no subs and won!! To make it harder for  Mitchell, he had a terrible cold, and still played great. We were ahead 1-0 at the half and I was so worried that they would run out of gas in the 2nd half, but they didn't. They caught a second wind when they scored again! It was a fun game... it was "pack the field" day at Bonanza and there was a big crowd there...lots of people stuck around for the jv game. It was great to have lots of Freshman girls cheering on Mitch... I am usually one of just a few parents there and probably one of 2 parents that cheer in English! 

They played out in Pahrump this morning and won 5-0 with only 11 guys! Hopefully our boys will get their grades up by next weeks games!

Good job Mitchell!

Way to go Mitchell!!!! Good job, and good job keeping your grades up so you can play. Coach would be proud of you too.
