The miserable weather continued well into the new week, on Wednesday the boys soccer club at McCaskey was scheduled for its Senior Night games at the stadium. When I received notification that it had been postponed I wasn't entirely surprised, in the e-mail Jon mentioned that parts of the field were literally underwater. The games were rescheduled for Thursday when the rain was long gone, the sun was out for the first time in almost a week and it was virtually a perfect day and night for an outdoor event. The activities started with the JV game at 5:00, the Red Tornado and visiting Conestoga Valley played to a 1-1 tie. The Senior Recognitions followed around 6:30 or so, the varsity game kicked off shortly after 7:00. JPM trailed 3-1 with ten minutes left but rallied to tie it and force overtime, in the sudden-death period CV ruined the party with the game-winning goal. JPM head coach Adam Wood is an old dek-hockey friend, every year he and Jon try to get me there for their Senior Day if I'm available. Most of the time it's not an issue but in 2021 another commitment kept me away, I'm glad it worked out this time around because it's for the kids and my presence always seems to be appreciated. On Friday evening I was at home on a Friday for the first time in six weeks but it was all good because Saturday will start early. Take care, thanks for reading.
