Currently the season is quickly coming to an end. It feels like the end of a school semester after finals. A loss to the #2 Seattle Wolves put us out of the playoffs. Our last home game was yesterday and we lost to the Tacoma Tide 4-2.
Interestingly, the normal stadium announcer was on vacation. Since I am not in the top 18 and I had called the play-by-play at Cedarville when my eligibility was done, I found myself announcing the starting lineups and the advertisements during these game. It was fun. "Subway is the nations largest submarine sandwich chain and an official sponsor of the Cascade Surge. Visit our location on S Commercial St. and enjoy one today!"
There was a sad twist (for me) at the end of the season. All of the guys are starting to pack up to leave and return to their "normal" teams. Most people are going back to their school. Joe is going to fly back home to Cleveland before starting CU’s season. Others are starting new teams. Zach and Grant are preparing to fly to Austria to play for Hirschstetten. Others are returning to their old teams. Likius and Teteh are going back to the USL1 team the Cleveland City Stars. Because so may are leaving there are openings in the line-up for the reserve players to get minutes. Unfortunately, myself and another guy cannot legally play because the rosters did not get changed in time. The coaches apologized to me about it. I am frustrated, but it wouldn’t do much good to get mad at anybody now. So, I’ll enjoy the last practice tonight and the last few days with the guys in Salem…
