Saturday night under the lights is what we play/train for...especially when it comes to facing tough teams like Methodist. They've been on a recent hot streak and were ranked above us in the region so we knew we had a battle ahead of us. Here is the pre-game summary article. I was very honored/thankful to start my 3rd career game against a huge rival and did everything I could to play my tail off. We went into half down 1-0 despite playing one of our better games. We came out the second half flying and went up 2-1. Then they came down and scored to tie it back up. Man it was a battle. We went into OT and lost one of our defenders to a 2nd yellow card - now we were down a man. Thankfully we immediately scored after that - a huge golden goal by my buddy Denny - to end the game. Here's the summary article with video highlights.
To top it off, Brian and his family (as well as a special someone who was supposed to be working in NC this weekend) made the trip all the way up here for the game - they got to see a nail biter and I couldn't be more thankful for such great support. Safe travels to them today. Here's me, Eli, and Brian after the game - hopefully soon Braden wont' be too shy for the camera anymore :)
