Well folks, week 4 is over and it was a great day for soccer. This Saturday reminded me of a song (with a twist). "Oh where, Oh where have the referee's gone, Oh where Oh Where can they be"..... Thats right there were a lot of games that did not have referee's signed up. We got lucky in some cases where folks stepped up to do games, coaches, parents, and older players did the games, some trained some not. I had a game at Pellissippi field so I was gone from 11 - 2. When I got back it looked like a lot of referee's had come out to do games.
The weather was great, cool in the morning and warm all day.
The parking officer reported he got 84 cars in the over flow lot. He said he could have got more if a couple of trees and the pile of rocks were moved. I told him we would work on it. Just to let everyone know if some one does something dumb like parking in a handicap spot when they are not entitled to it, let him know. He will be glad to talk to them, issue a ticket, or tow them. He is still a Law enforcement officer even if he is off duty.
The U6 pictures were in and Theresa Gray was there handing them out. She could use some help if your free for a little while on Saturday. Greg Lawson was there taking pictures. Special thanks to Malcolm and Karen Tobias for the use of a goal for a back drop for the pictures.
There was a problem in a game Saturday. The proper persons have been notified and it is being looked to. Everything else was pretty quiet.
There did not seem to be any trash left on the fields, I did not see any cans over flowing.
I got to watch some of my grandsons U6 game. One of the parents on the other team seemed a little loud. But after listening to him for a while, I realized he is just one of these folks that has the kind of voice that carries. He was just as loud talking to folks on the sideline as he was when his child was playing.
Someone reported there were 5 ticks found on different folks. If this keeps up we may have to spray or do something.
All in all a very good weekend for soccer.
See you next week on the fields.
