Saturday the whistle blew to a very different tune at the pitch - the sun was OUT!
Saturday, The Varsity Don’s hosted Liberty at Noon Jan 27th, after a cool and nail-biting win against Dublin Thursday 4-3. Dublin and Amador kept it exciting this past Thursday as they rallied in scoring, back and forth, back and forth! Final whistle tho; Amador prevails.
Today, although Amador Valley High School seemed to be favored to win as well, neither team in the first half held possession time and control to get the game to swing to their favor. And it seemed the sun took it’s time rallying all players as the first half was scoreless 0-0.
The second half brought more urgency and a bit more fouls – yellow cards stacked up for both teams, though Liberty had many more cautions.
Amador players began to weave their normal pass pass connection and things started looking up, as AVHS controlled more and more of the game.
Liberty continued to try to play their point forward and squeeze a goal past our AVHS keepers, but defense held most plays, and sent counter balls up field.
Don’s finalized forward motion by scoring on team oriented passing; 1st goal secured by midtime of the half and the 2nd coming near the end, off of a give and go and a subsequent laid off ball, tee’d up to snag the win.
A beautiful day to celebrate a 2nd win this week; final Amador Dons 2-0 Liberty.
