Our Wednesday game against Clairemont was one of those unfortunate games when the score did not match effort we put in. The Trojan Offense was granted plenty of scoring opportunities, but Clairemont’s goalie had an outstanding game coupled with the fact that we hit more pipes than a frustrated plumber. Once again, the Trojan Defensive played extremely aggressive throughout the game and made a couple huge stops during man-down efforts. Though I’m not sure how, Clairemont did get a few shots off; however, Jeff Barton played pretty lights out. He let in only 2 goals with 2:00 left in the game.
And then the whole team sat out for three goals because we felt bad for how badly we were crushing Clairemont on their home field. Because the SC Lax team is not only a bunch of scholars, but we’re also an organization gentlemen.
Clairemont was a mild awakening for what we have in store for us when Chapman comes to town. We have a steady week of work ahead of us. Though the odds are stacked against us, come Thursday, the Trojans will be prepared to scrap, sweat, bleed, and fight on!
