Game Two Against Hurricanes
by Ashley Killinder
Wicked Soccer Slang
For those of you who are tuning into the blog for educational purposes, here is some terminology to help you understand the game of soccer a little easier.
Sniper: when someone trips on the field with no one around them and nothing to trip over. Usually it looks like someone has been hit by a sniper from the rafters.
Nutmeg: Otherwise known as a “Meg”. Oh no folks, it is not a spice. It is, however, one of the most insulting things you can do to your opponent on the field. This happens when the opponent approaches a player, and the player kicks the ball through their legs. Trust me. I have fell victim to this trick on numerous occasions…and every time I feel like a total ass.
Game 2 MVP: Adam-Paul Langlinais
It may seem out of the ordinary to see this 6’3’’, 215 lb. golf-pro out on the soccer field, but Langlinais is no stranger to el futbol. Langlinais played soccer through grade school. Once high school started, Langlinais opted for a sport that allowed him to drink beer while playing. The best option was golf. Excelling in everything he does, Langlinais went on to become Louisiana’s State Champion in Golf. Langlinais comes to Code Blue with little experience in goal, but lots of experience with balls flying at his face. He has already proven himself to the team in Game 2. Coach Tennessee plans on playing Langlinais in goal for the remainder of the summer season.
Play by Play
Game 2 was an impressive display of teamwork by UK’s Code Blue. Our first game left us a little discouraged, a little sore (some more than others) and with several things to work on. A number of team members got together over lunch to discuss some strategies for game two. After some quick pre-game coaching, Code Blue went into game #2 passing excellently, getting back on defense, and making some hard sticks against the other team.
New to game #2 are three players we missed last week. “Boozen” Susan Parker, Adam-Paul Langlinais, and Mike Helm all contributed to another game well played. Parker joins the team with experience from her youth. She is a strong player both defensively and offensively. Parker will provide the team with strengths in scoring, passing, and out-drinking anyone on the team. Langlinais also joins the team with previous experience. Langlinais is also very versatile in his positions, but we expect that he will be a big asset to the team in goal. Helm is one of our newcomers on the team. However, we expect his endurance and dedication to pay off for Code Blue. Helm excels in basketball, tennis, and ping-pong. We expect nothing less for him than to master soccer as well.
As a rule of thumb, I really don’t count how many goals the other team scores. As for Code Blue, we scored three. Two goals went to Mr. Ryan Hill, a National City Financial Consultant working with John Killinder. Our third goal went to a newcomer to soccer, Sarah Rentz. After an aggressive 3 v 3 up the field, Sarah received a pass from the far left, just to shoot it right past the goalie’s hands. Well done, Sarah.
Don't Sarah, Tara and Mindy look sexy in soccer socks and shin guards?
I'm gonna be all over you like butter on toast!
