No midfield for old man

Our second game is today, all the way up on the North Side, and my team is missing it's star = L. is to be on the varsity this game. It means the whole team will have to be reconfigured - well, the "O" will have ot be. She is the one player on the team to possess a real good sense of the game, and she fights like hell - basically irreplaceable. But, the games will go on. So, I have to figure out someother offensive option for us. Boy, that'll be hard. But...........

Hmm.......... These things are inevitable. The varsity had only so many kids on it, and a few dropped off. They need reinforcements. It hurts our team, but that's the way it goes.

I can remember three years ago when one of the boys was brought up to varsity after half the year on J-V. He still hung out with the J-V players before/after games, and the J-V boys really pulled for him during varsity games. Lets see if this dynamic plays itself out this year.
