Unexpected Surprise on the Soccer Pitch

While filling in on the fall high school/middle school this soccer season, I was assigned to a local girls middle school near my home. I have not refereed a girls middle school game in a few years, so the girls were unknown to me until my eyes glanced at the Coach - Anna Doyle and her assistant Coach Teresa Doyle Watkins. They are a blast from the Pheen past (Freestate Phoenix) and we haven't seen each other in several years! Anna's 13 year old granddaughter is on the school's team, and I have not seen her since she was three! I am thankful we had a great "reunion" catching up before the game and it was great seeing Tee's (Teresa's) 9 month old baby boy.

Anna's coaching was "spot on" since her team won 13-0 over the visiting team! Kudos to Anna and her players, and it was a fun match to referee!

BSoleille!
