Timpview 1-0. This was an interesting game. 1st time with a new formation and many players on the field that have never played together before. New formation, new players, not bad. We fought hard, no one came off the field crying (one came off the field bleeding), no penalty kicks, no silly fouls right outside the box and very little negativity. I'm excited to see how we do when we start to get used to each other, learn the system and get healthy.

I watched an interesting documentary while doing the dishes last night. There is a small creature in Africa called the honey badger. In South Africa there is a saying in Afrikaans that translates "as tough as a honey badger." These little creatures fight lions, hyenas, rhinos, you name it. On top of all of that the thing that impresses me the most about them is their perseverance. They will literally stop at nothing to get what they are working for. To the point of defecating in the same place and piling it up for 3 weeks to get a pile high enough in order to climb out of their cage.

We can learn a lot from nature. If you read this, text "honey badger" to my phone before 5pm today and you (if player) or your son (if parent) will be first in line to eat Friday at the retreat.
