A Season in the Shadows

Purple colored jerseys, huh? I wonder what school that could be? Hazel, are you spilling the details?

Dad literally streams a really old TV show where they start every episode with

"Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent."

After dinner she held his hand while sitting on the dock looking over the sloshing ocean. It was electric. She squeezed his hand tighter and smiled. Would she regret this? She wondering what he was thinking. She sighed deep and tossed the severed hand into the water. Wiped her hands on her trousers and smiled while she walked slowly along the pier, alone with her thoughts. It was a very good day.

Is this a metaphor? Or real?

Hazel, what was the score of the u16-17 Thorns against Placer? It’s the only score missing from all the gda teams in the nation. Hazel must know!

My DD heard from a reliable source it was cancelled. Thorns team at that age group teetering on the brink of not forming. Many girls upset about the playup and poor quality 03’s who joined them.

I wore our Thorns jersey today because I wanted to FRONT UP on the Varsity and JV kids wearing the jerseys at school today. OMG Skeleton face dude actually came up to me and asked me if I was a soccer player so at least I got some sort of recognition! Maybe hes not really a WEIRDO afterall?

Jenny Megdon said the Miner team we TIED is ranked in the top 400 teams in the country so we are already WAY ahead of where we thought we would be which I guess is good. I kinda thought we would be a little higher ranked but coach said NOT to look at rankings anymore so I told Jenny in a nice way not to look at the rankings. Mom is the worst because she is always looking at the rankings but pretends not to care so much. Most of rankings are really screwed up anyway because teams play tournaments just to get points and stuff. Mom says the more money a team pays to go to all these places the better their ranking is even if they lose. Dad says its lowering the DA team rankings because the DA is being "fiscally responsible" with our money. Its kinda like those that show up get ranked even if they suck!

Patty McClellan snickered as she walked past me today but she tried to play it off by pointing at something on the door of a classroom and giggling. She made the ODP Regional team a couple years back but now she went totally to the dark side and is acting so so popular with all the Puky Varsity Bling she has. Their hoodies are really ghetto but I wish I had one like that cause it kinda has a UO cool look. Did you realize the high school teams actually meet for lunch on their own, like its not scheduled by parents or the team and they just like hang out together?

I literally wonder about the skeletor dude and wonder what he looks like beyond the mask. I wonder if he is a Timbers Academy kid behind the mask LOL!

We literally had a bad weekend last weekend so I'm REALLY hoping its not going to be like last year. But it does make me raise the question in my mind??? If high school soccer is SO BAD than why is Mary McGutty getting a scholarship to Notre Dame next year? Why is Ani Makdorian getting a scholarship to Brown University. Jenny Carver is going to HARVARD and playing soccer! She didn't get a full ride BUT.... Stacy McDavin another high schooler is going to Cal Poly Pomona! Kiko Wantanbe is going to UC Irvine or Oregon ? These are all HIGH SCHOOL players enjoying their team bonding activities that Dad and Mom both told me were NOT ALL THEY ARE CRACKED UP TO BE ! Dad's "example" was that one of the high school senior girls was overheard saying 'RED BULL AND VODKA' is "really good"! He said OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE ON THE WRONG TRACK and you, Hazelton need to STAY THE COURSE! Remember your NWSL DREAM!

I'm trying my best to remember back to FATSOs 'pyramid of life' powerpoint in Eugene years back now. Yet, I am more and more of the opinion that I'm in HIGH SCHOOL and SOME EUROPEAN &&&&WADS have F%%%D our American Womens Soccer for their own WALLETS and job security! Literally Tragedy! and they've fooled our parents with a LINE of CRAP that makes me wanna puke more than Jake Pinetta who pukes almost everyday before MATH class because hes literally scared of VARIABLES and so hooked on JUULs that he can't go 20 minutes without torching up!

This is nice but the DA is now the leading source for College as well as NWSL and NWT.

ECNL = college

Dreaded Pirate Larry was somewhat worried, as he looked down at his boot, where his first mate was stretched out, making whooshing sounds, attempting to blow him over, that despite having the fastest ship, the most eye patches, and the prettiest parrots, his crew may need a few lessons on the difference between literal and figurative, as evidenced by the rest of the crew applying ice to the timbers.

The Timbers? Mind blown.

Title IX quotas must be met. HS only will do.

This is dumb. DA kids get more attention now from all sides - colleges, NWT scouts, you name it. High school has zero visibility with anyone who counts.
