They say all good things must come to a end, right?
I guess that really is true then.
We went to our final game (literally) yesterday at Binghamton to play Candor in the Class C Sectional Finals. When the first half was over it looked like we were going to stay tied at 0-0 up until overtime.
Then the second half started.
Candor scored three goals. And they were all good goals too. They were a very good team. They were just better enough than us to beat us. And beat us they did: We lost, 3-0.
Afterwards the team headed into the locker room to discuss stuff. Then, COach Gravel had up seniors, and captains say our final words.
Teresa said that she was so happy that the rest of the team played their hardest the whole season and she thanked them. I could hear that she was crying. It was really touchig, what she said. And then Gravel had me say something.
I said what I could think of at that moment: “Thanks for making this a great season. It was a good way to end my high school career, so thanks.”
There was so much more that I wanted to say!
========================================
Thank you for making this a great season. When we first started out, I wasn’t sure what to expect of my final year playing SGS. But it was you and your strength and determination that made us come this far. I know that we wouldn’t have come this far if this was a different team. You all pushed yourself to your limits, and you contributed to the team in a positive way. And, as the season continued on, I realized: we’re going to go places. This team would go far. And we did; we went to sectional finals. Even though we still lost, I’ll still remember that at least we went this far. And it wasn’t because just because of two exceptional people. It was because of a team was was made of only exceptional people who knew who to fight and who never gave up, instead trying harder. I have no clue if the college team I’ll hopefully be playing on will get far. So, thanks for making my final season here the best season I’ve ever played in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you.
SGS may have lost the championship but, at the end of the game, you remained unbeated. Remember that. You played hard and you played well. I’m so very proud of you.
