Hi Everyone, a very eventful weekend just passed and I must say that for the most part, I was proud of our girls. The tempo of our play and the emphasis on playing through the balls was the key to us playing well, and it is what we worked on all week at practice. I must say that I could not fault us for creativity, we created enough. At times we made mistakes, but doesn't everyone? I was the first to admit that I made a mistake as the Coach and take full responsibility for the loss on PK's. I didn't schedule PK's in practice, which I should have! And I apologized to the kids. It's important not only for the kids but also as a coach to learn and develop from this.
I'm excited that we managed to play some very exciting soccer, lots of possession and key defending at times very encouraging, and I will be pushing the players to play with the same heart, desire, and quality this coming weekend in Clarksville as we go there trying to repeat what we did last year by winning it.
I hope you all have a great week and that we get lots of sun!! Kelly-Jade told me to tell you guys hi and that she's thinking about every one of you!!!
Go Danger!

97 Lady Danger in Bowling Green
by Coach Sean Fraser
The 97 Lady Danger of Paris, TN, fought hard this weekend in the Bowling Green Tournament.
In the tournament opener, dressed in red, Danger entertained Paducah Storm and dominated the earyl play with great pressure led by forwards Alyss Ray, Manning Boley, Madison Lovelace, and Sophie Carter. The defense held firm for its 3rd shut-out of the season led by the return of Lillie Akers.
The Danger looked thretening throughout and Sophie Carter had the pick of the chances going close after being puth through by Sakura Horiuchi. Only a great save from the keeper managed to keep the score tied.
The game fizzled out ending in a 0-0 tie which was overshadowed by an injury to captain Kaity Beth James.
In the Saturday afternoon game the Danger faced Hopkinsville Ambush and fell beind to two early goals, only for Sakura Horiuchi to score a superb solo goal. The game ended 3-2 with the Danger awaiting other results to determine whether we made the cut for the following day's playoffs.
Clarksville Impact wee the opposition in the quarter final and in a fiesty affair, the Danger looked to be the stronger team going close on many opportunities. In a game that produced 3 yellow cards, the Danger showed their physical and athletic dominance, but could not turn it into goals. Addi Cate was the hero on numerous opportunities with a string of impressive saves to collect the fourth shutout of the season.
The game went to PK's and Clarksville Impact came out on top with the Danger players clearly dejected and downbeat about the result.
The Danger turns around and travels to Clarksville for their final tournament of the season this coming week.
