Words are tough to come by, even after gathering my thoughts it?s still tough to put into words. I am so incredibly proud of our girls and their performance and season but to see them lose in such heartbreaking fashion with a lot not in our control (wind) also was tough but we were 2 mins and 23 seconds from winning the state title and not many teams can say they?ve accomplished what we have and have what we have as a team, community and the athmosphere already in the program. Our girls in absolutely crazy winds in our face the entire second half defended with strength, bravery and will while being under seige the entire time because of the wind.. a championship team with a wpial gold and a Piaa silver is an incredible season even though our girls expected more (which i love the expectations).
With that said, no one can tell me if the wind was not what it was that we are not still the better team but that?s the way the cookie crumbles and still incredibly proud .
I feel truly heartbroken for our seniors, our team and the faces and tears in locker room after the game but as we tell them that shows they care and they wanted more. It?s an excruciating way to lose but someday this will mean the world to these girls experiencing everything we have as a group together [emoji3590]
Go lopes , I truly believe we?ll be back. As I said last year after losing wpial finals, we would be back and this time win it ? i truly believe we?ll be back to piaa finals for redemption. These girls work to hard year
around.
Lastly, the last reply (in screenshot) is absolutely a positive, we?re a homegrown team from a community who builds through a community which makes things so much better when we win[emoji3590]⚽️
*edit it says i cant post anymore pics this month but someone mentioned in a comment on an article how it?s tough to continually beat teams with players from multiple zip codes who can recruit and we played Catholic schools in quarters semis and finals of states and were 2 mins away from state title until we were stunned in 61 seconds by 2 goals *

Kid,
Just sick to my stomach hearing about the loss. Take some time. Best wishes.
