Since I was unable to attend the Bronchos victory on
September 25th, I have never had the chance to see the team play really well
together as a whole. Tonight was one of those nights where everything seemed to
click for them. Despite ultimately losing the game 2-0, the Bronchos played
hard, passed, and really gave it their all. Even the two goals allowed were a
little on the flukey side, as the goal keeper was in position and the Lapeer
East team managed to deflect the shot just slightly right in front of him. Tyler
managed to dribble the ball a little tonight, and he did a good job pressuring
the opposing players when they had the ball. He had a supreme scoring
opportunity staring him in the face, as he and a defender raced after the ball.
Unfortunately the defender got their a couple of steps before Tyler did, booting
it right into Tyler's midsection (or slightly lower...). Tyler crumpled to the
ground and had to come out of the game while he recovered for a while. Had he
won that battle, he almost certainly would have scored. Bummer for him...
Only two more games remaining in the season. Let's go
Bronchos!

since he switched jerseys midway through his season.)
