Best Lacrosse night of all
saltlakecaro, 14:06h
Thursday was a very special night for me. We had a varsity game against Woods Cross and a JV game against Herriman. It was Senior night. (Senior night: Last home game and before the game all seniors get honored and a gift). So we went to the bleachers and Coach said that everyone should sit down and the seniors stand in front and Germany. Then they started to honored everyone individually and talk about them. When it was my turn Coach Andrew called me in front and then asked me for my real name :D He started to try to talk about "Carolin", but gave up very soon and switched back to "Germany". When I walked in front everybody yelled my name and I got a very loud applause. I'm glad they didn't had music like they did at basketball or I'm pretty sure I would have cried. He talked about my strong defense and said that I played both JV and Varsity. Then he said that they are so sad I can’t play next year for them and asked everyone to send a letter to my parents to either move here or let me stay another year. I got a necklace with a lacrosse stick and a team picture. Then we ran back on the field and got together for the team talk. Woods Cross had only 8 fieldplayer instead of 11, so we played three men down too. Coach Jess announced the starter and I couldn’t believe it, when she said my name! I was starting on Varsity. Since we needed only one player back I ran up and played on attack. After we still hadn’t scored after a few minutes I cut and received a pass from Lilly, shot, and the ball went in! I had scored the first goal of the game and my first varsity goal ever. I heard people yelling my name on the sideline and celebrating me and it felt soo good. I played almost the full Varsity game. Then we played JV. I didn’t start because I didn’t warm up with them. Suddenly I remembered that I heard, that if you start on Varsity you can’t play JV anymore. So I went to tell Coach Ariel, that I started on Varsity, because she didn’t know it and I didn’t want to make my team lose the game because of me playing. Ariel was very upset and talked to Coach Jess, she said she thinks I still can play so she talked to the table and the other team and they said they are ok if I play. I didn’t feel very good about that since we were mad at Bingham for playing with varsity players against us, so I said I sit out first half and play second. I played D-Wing in second half and scored again! My second JV goal and third of my life! We won both JV and Varsity and are first with both teams. It was an amazing night!
