Sunday Night Lights

It's mid-January, and luckily, the mid-Atlantic states are enjoying a short reprieve of Old Man Winter; enough so, that I got to referee the first two games of the year...and all outdoors (55 degree start, and 50 degree end).  The soccer was fast and furious for state cup "qualifiers", although they were actually "glorified" scrimmages. It did not matter, since the 35 minute halves went by super fast (lots of running, and I love that!). Two good things about these games in January; no mosquitoes and low humidity. I had a swig of water between games, but certainly did not "need" it. However, these games were refereed with only a center (no assistants), and that was tricky on a big wide field, but ultimately, both games worked out very well.

BSoleille! The bright side of everyone understanding the "mission" of the games and playing under the lights on a Sunday night. What's not to like about that?
