Walhalla 7, Abbeville 1

Hurray for Jorhito the Flying Burrito

Some people drink bloody marries on the morning after. In Walhalla, we just play another game. Yes we were a bit groggy, faintly glowing memories of yesterday past, echoing about in our domes. But there were glimpses of the promise Coach Estes knows is there. The ball moved from side to side and we played much cleaner and possessed the ball much more. We saw many of our players for the first time and all showed that they will be factors in the future of Walhalla soccer. Congratulations to Michael Calderra on getting the first hat trick for a Razorback this season. Sometimes greed is a good thing. Michael deserved to be rewarded for his unselfish play from the forward position and has set the mark for what Coach Estes wants a forward to be. He is always showing to the ball and plays simple with his back to the goal and has shown a great ability to finish and pick up the trash. Jonathon Martinez looked efficient and smooth playing in the defensive midfield while Jose Arquiza took to the sweeper position like a duck to water. Congratulations goes as well to little Jorhito the flying burrito as he scored his first goal of his career as a purple hog. Against Christ church and their huge defenders he looked more like an egg roll than a burrito but he plays large and that's all that matters. The one goal for Abbeville came on a PK which was earned because Jonathon apparently sneezed in the general direction of the referee. We were not actually informed of the new "sneeze rule" so our apologies to the referee for summarily berating him, calling him a bus-driver and handing him a pair of old coke bottle glasses at the end of the game. Apologies to Lynn our great bus-driver as well for making fun of his profession. Adrenalin sometimes gets the best of all of us.

Come out and support us next Monday, the 17th, as we take on the West Oak Warriors right here in the friendly confines of "the beach." Beachwear encouraged. Purple a must.
