Congrats to the soccer teams!
Midlo cruises through district in very impressive fashion. Best of luck to the boys and girls team as they head into playoffs.

Finally, a beautiful afternoon. The morning wasn’t bad, but just after lunch the sky’s cleared and the sun came out. And so did the Panthers. Another great outing with great ball movement and really impressive control of the game.

My daughter (Haley, 9) has shot a handful of events with me over the past few months, so today was a great opportunity for her to show her stuff. When looking at the photos of this game as well as the girls’ game, you’ll notice that halfway through the catalog the pictures seem to start back to the beginning of the game. All of those pics on the back end are Haley’s… so if you like them, let her know in “comments”.

Congrats to both teams this weekend!
Way to go girls! DeSoto was completely outmatched in this early season match. Although understaffed due to SATs and basketball commitments, I don’t know if it would have made any difference. The girls did a great job of moving the ball and kept the action on DeSoto’s side of the field practically the entire game.

Two words — cold and wet. In speaking with the parents, it’s a typical day at the office for the soccer team.
The JV guys had a slow start, but by midway through the first half, Midlo stayed in attack mode and never let up. Their ball handling was pretty impressive keeping Adamson spread out and opening breakaway opportunities.


Adamson’s varsity was a much more formidable opponent. Play was much tighter and aggressive. Midlo had about three times as many shots on goal but couldn’t find the net. Overall, solid play early in the season.

I’ve been looking forward to checking out the Panther soccer team… Monday night will be my first opportunity. Good luck against Adamson!
