Ok - Let's break it into three parts:  

MSPSP Spring 2016 - wasn't the most successful of seasons.   2 wins - a 1-0 win against SCOR where were a man down because one player was stupid(!) and told a referee something with the f-work in it.  But we dominated the game and got a goal.   And a 2-1 win against a very good Wolves East team that was unexpected in how much we dominated the game.   

The back end of the season was a disaster - half the team quit trying and the coach did some stupid things in terms of who played that made it worse.  The 1-0 loss to Rush Lansing was a killer - Matthew has never beat the team he used to play for and nobody on that field wanted to win the game.

MSYSA Spring State Cup - the highlight of the spring....but it certainly didn't seem that way early.   An unimpressive 2-1 win against Tigers - another 1-0 unimpressive win against RSC.   Basically left us needing a win against the #1 team in the state to advance.....not beating up on inferior teams left us in a bad spot with tiebreakers going into that final game.  But the boys really played well - the coach left the kids who were hustling and effective in the game more (Matthew played a lot!) and we won 1-0 to advance to the knockout round.  A first ever for this group!

"Congratulations to the 02 Boys Blue and coach Pavol for a big win in Michigan State Youth Soccer Association, Inc. State Cup play tonight! The team defeated #1 seed MI Jaguars Green 1-0 in a hard fought game to advance first in their group with 3 wins out of 3!"

Won the Round of 16 game convincingly, a 5-0 win that was more noteworthy for the other team's Mom than anything else.  And then a rematch against the Wolves East team that we had just beaten a week ago by outhustling them and we went out and...well, certainly didn't outhustle them and lost 3-1.   And the season really went south from there.

Looking forward: This team won't exist as the same group of boys in Spring 2017 - the U14s were boys with birthdates from 10/01/2001 from 9/30/2002 and due to rule changes it will be only 2002s on the new team.   I think this is a good thing because a lot of these boys need something different BUT am concerned that 2002 only team might not be very good.
