It's over for now. . .

Last year's seniors enjoyed last night's game. Tom Obert really likes this gig. Wonder why.

Well, it's over (for now) . . . but it's also been a great ride so far! Our Little Darlings lost their first game of the season tonight in the championship game of the Courtney Walsh Memorial Tournament, 4 - 3 in OVERTIME to Crookston, the 2nd ranked team in the state.
It was a terrific game from a fans standpoint because it featured two relatively small, yet very speedy teams. As a neutral, unbiased reporter, I must report that our Cards have been battling the flu bug and had a very tough semi-final game last night against Faribault (while Crookston cruised to an easy win against an overmatched Morris-Benson team).
Nevertheless, I have to acknowledge that Crookston does have an excellent team - even if several of their players appeared to be 23-year old Canadians. The Cards were solidly supported tonight by a group of last year's seniors - as you can see, a couple months in college away from home has turned them into quite the rowdy bunch!

The Darlings don't have another game for a couple of weeks now. The cub reporter plans to lay low, write Christmas thank you notes, and see if he can still remember the way to the winery.
