Supporting The Seniors

Ludlowe boys' soccer seniors 2024

I often write about days of game. Often weekends of multiple games. 

I don't often write about actual work, because there's a lot I cannot say, plus, who really cares about my workday. 

Then again, many people who read this may not care about the games I write about. I hope some people do. 

I am burying the lead. 

Friday was a busy day at Ludlowe (and Warde, although I was at Ludlowe but could have very well went to Warde for games). 

It was senior day/night for not one, not two, but three teams. 

Girls' volleyball, field hockey and boys' soccer. 

It was also a successful day as all three teams came away with victories. 

Girls' volleyball defeated Wilton in straight sets. 

Field hockey took down St. Joe's 7-0. Lily McClay had three goals, Catie Leddy two and Ava Cagnassola and Ellery Walker each had a goal. 

Boys' soccer defeated Bridgeport Central 2-0. Charlie Jones two goals. Cooper Sicre with a goal. Will Bostrom and Chase McCormack combine on a shutout in goal. 

I watched parts of the first two, as I went back and forth as they overlapped. 

I then watched all of boys' soccer. 

I know I am not supposed to play favorites with teams or athletes, but....

(Please note, this blog, or my personal social media, have no affiliation the schools or my job)

The boys' soccer group is a tremendous group of kids. It's one of those groups that I've gotten to know well. First and foremost, because of the basketball and baseball players who are on the team. Also, just being in the school and then going to all the games, I have gotten to know others. 

A couple thoughts on senior days/nights. 

- It should be the last home game. With a few exceptions like if that last game is the rivalry game or something like that. 

-It's a quick recognition of the seniors. Do more at the banquet. 

Again, these are my thoughts, and I know people have a reason for the ways things are done. 

Onto football tomorrow. 

Maybe I will write about that. Or I won't. 

We will see.
