Husky Gameday, Part Deux

I am nothing if not a superstitious fellow. I threw away a school-logoed polo shirt earlier this season after we played our worst game of the District season. There are things that are non-negotiable about gameday. For example, we always warm up on the same side of the field, even though it's the furthest from our bench. My goalkeepers get high tens, versus the high fives all the other starters get as they're announced pregame. You get the point.

And so on this District Final Husky Gameday, I'm running back the blogtheme that undoubtedly contributed to our win on Tuesday. We've beaten our opponent tonight twice this season, but each match was scoreless at halftime. I think we're a bit more talented, but they did just knock off the unbeaten regular season champs (and were the only team to hold them to at least a draw during the district campaign). That's got our kids' attention. I don't expect we'll be as disinterested as the regular season champs were.

Pretty simple equation: we play like we're capable, I like our chances. Kick's at 6:00 pm. Up the Huskies.

Husky Gameday

Playoff beard engaged. Roster (mostly) healthy. Game at home tonight at 6:00. Win and we live to fight another day. Lose and the season ends.
