It was also our sixth shutout, tying a record. We have gone with Julies suggestion of giving Bay the home starts, and Julie the away ones. Lately that has kept Julie a bit busier than Bay, and one reason is the wind. There has been a gale-force wind blowing from the east end of our field to the west end. Joelle has won every coin toss lately, and we take the wind at our back during the first half.
Some coaches prefer to play against the wind in the first half.
There is a coaching lesson I learned from my dad. Take the wind when you get the chance, because you never know when it is going to change directions. We would play entire games with the wind in our face. It is not like we didn't have enough problems without Mother Nature suiting up for the opponent. Anyway, the wind is definitely a factor in helping our opponents launch a few additional second-half attacks at our park, so Julie stays a little busier.
