Farewell to the Comets!

Well another year of matching up against the Halifax Comets has come and now past, as Tunstall played Halifax County for the second and final time in 07 last Wednesday night. The Trojans had all 15 gals at the game and all in working order, but perhaps the Ladies minds were'nt at the game at all. The first half started rather quickly as Halifax used its speed to turn up the heat on the pitch, and what incredible speed those Comets have! By halftime Tunstall was facing a 4-0 deficit to the girls in blue! And with the end of the next 40 minutes of play the Trojans lost to Halifax 6-0. Game ball for this match was awarded to Tunstall's keeper and senior captain Hannah, she is often faced with many opponents inside of the box as well as our own defenders, yet despite all the chaos she always keeps tough and never lets us down! Hannah passed the ball onto another senior and defensive captain Haley, because she felt Haley also displayed these traits of endurance and mental and physical toughness!!

But HAVE NO FEAR...the TROJANS are definitely still here and still excited and positive about this 2007 season! Everyone understands that facing such a AAA team, with its own JV squad and excellent practice field, have a bit of an advantage...so the Ladies aren't looking at this loss with sadened hearts, but are all ready and willing to make steps toward vast improvement!!! Tunstall faces only one match this coming week, their second encounter with George Washington on Friday night! So this week will be yielding lots of good practice time and all the girls are working together to help the young ladies learn more and our inexperienced girls are even helping to keep the veterans upbeat and enthusiastic!! TUNSTALL is coming together in unison like rarely seen before! The 2007 season is still yet to begin, so stick to it TROJANS! Our time will come!!
