Double Header - Spartans win (yay!) and Roadrunners lose (boo!)

Morgan had two games again this Tuesday night. First, her basketball team played against Westview Hills. The gym/court was really small! Westview Hills was undefeated this year just like Herrick. Even though it was a little tougher of a game, it was still an easy win for Morgan's team 24-4. Matt was out of town and Avery was at cheer workshop, so it was just me cheering Morgan on!

Then, we changed gears and uniforms and headed to the last soccer game of the season. It was a late one at 8:30 PM in Schaumburg. It was a disappointing end to the season as they lost 2-1. The game actually didn't matter for the standings since right before us the team we were tied in second place with tied their game. So, we had secured second place and they were third because we beat them head-to-head. The game itself was a complete shit show thanks to the main referee. He was on some sort of power trip from the very beginning. He yelled at the parents and at the players. Morgan said he told her to "shut her mouth" once. It doesn't surprise me because he yelled the same and more to the parents on the sideline. I think after we started yelling at him, he called even more bad calls on our team. The team we played against were poor sports. At one point, they kicked a dead ball to the other end of the field when we were getting ready for a free kick after a foul so that they could run down the clock. The ref did give them a yellow card for that. Then, towards the end of the game, one of their players faked being injured to run down the clock. Our coach was yelling that they should get another yellow card for that, but it was too late anyway. Overall this season, the girls did well (and finished a lot better than last season!) We're looking forward to a little break from soccer before the winter season starts.

Pre-game bump with Abby!
