A lot of the teams over the weekend were ones from the Salt Lake area. They came down to get some games in before their regular season began.
It has been really cold, although it looks like it should be a nice warm day, and it has been very windy. Where they play is in a bowl between two small mesas. The north wind blows and makes the wind just frigid in the bowl and it was miserable. I went to the day game on Saturday and Bryan took one for the team and went to the night game. When I watched during the day, I was bundled in my coat, 2 blankets, and gloves. And that's how all the parents were on the sidelines. We were all freezing and couldn't believe the girls were fine running around in shorts. But they were active so they didn't get too cold, at least that's what Courtney told us.
The first Saturday game was rough because they didn't have any subs so all the girls had to play the entire game. Courtney was exhausted and they still had one more game to go. The second game was better because they had more players and were able to sub out. But Courtney still played half of the game.
Courtney is the right player on the left side of the field.
Monday night was their first league game. They lost the game but they were exhausted and didn't have any subs for the first half. At halftime, one player showed up after work so they had one person to rotate in. The second half of the games have been going better than the first half, so they are learning to make adjustments.
Again, it looks like a beautiful day, and it was until the sun went down, and then it got cold. But they survived and they have a break until they get to Florida.
