Blue Owls Update
Oct. 6, 2010 11:15 am
My daughter Ella's Blue Owls played their second game, which was a rousing victory. We learned a couple of things.
First, at the start of the game, Ella was not entirely clear on how this goalie thing works. In the video above, you'll see her do a fine job stopping the ball. Then, she rolls it into the net, to the delight of the Green Dinosaurs.
Still, she could someday play goalie for England. (Video below)
Second, we learned Ella knows how to trash talk. Before the game, she walked up to the opposing coach and reportedly said, "Green Dinosaurs are going down." Nice.
Two weeks of organized sports, and Ella is a pint-sized Kevin Garnett. Didn't expect the sportsmanship lecture to be needed so soon.
