End of the Road
As I said in my last post, no one wanted our season to end here, but unfortunately that’s what happened. We lost to Lake Dallas 1-4 at home tonight, only our second loss at home all season and our seventh loss overall. As I did with football, here’s our complete season record:

Don’t really know what else to say. 11 people (the 10 seniors on the team plus myself) will not be returning next year, so a significant portion of the team will change next spring. We had one of the team’s best seasons in a long time, and I think we should have gone much farther in the playoffs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what I or anyone else thinks for that matter.
Sultans of Swat Season…..Conclude.
Final Record: 23-7 (10-0)
