Spin Zone / Didn't Know Where Else to Put This.....
« on: May 10, 2024, 11:56:11 AM »
There is no other place I could see to put this and it will be forgotten about soon anyway and bubble down the list.
Over on the PB we post about family stuff all the time but not so much here.
My youngest grandson, he's 17, has played soccer for years now. He plays club level soccer in a regional league and for his three years in HS has played varsity soccer. In his Freshman year his team advanced in the state playoffs for class 6A to the semifinal round before losing. In his Sophomore year they advanced to the final but lost 3-2 in OT. In that game they had to play the last 16 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of OT a man down.
Now as a Junior the team started off the year with a 16 game win streak. They were undefeated in region play (6-0) and lost their last game before the playoffs started 1-0 to a 7A team used as a tuneup to the playoffs. Once they were scored on the coach subbed in the second and third strings to get them playing time.
The playoffs consist of five games starting with a 32 team field, four team from each of eight regions, played over a three week period. Last night was the championship game between my grandson's team and the HS that both of my sons attended. Out of the whole state, these two schools are less than nine miles apart. As an aside the other finalist last year was only seven mile away.
Due to their record and a GHSA coin toss the boys got home field advantage thru the first four games, the final being played a neutral field. The boys were also considered the home team for the final game. The game got off to a rough start. In the early part of the game my grandson was issued a yellow card that resulted in the other team getting a penalty kick. He also had to sit out two minutes before returning to play. He plays the center back position. About halfway into the first half, 40 minute halves, our keeper was assessed a red card when he stopped a shot, had the ball in his possession and then fell on an opposing player. It was claimed that he kneed that player in the ribs or some such. With him ejected, the backup keeper, a freshman, entered the game and we had to play the rest of the game a man down.
As horrible as that sounds, our boy played a whale of a game and shut them out 3-0 to become the 6A State Soccer Champions. In the their five playoff games they only allowed three goals, shutting out their last two opponents. The most goals they gave up in their twenty-two games this season was two. Final record for the year was 21-1, an impressive season for sure.

They also finished nationally as #1 for Spring soccer.

Spin Zone / The United Methodist Church Goes Woke
« on: May 08, 2024, 04:48:36 AM »
For years now there has been a struggle in the United Methodist Church to keep it traditional. Slowly but surely the Liberals have moved in. In our District in Georgia the Bishop, a gay female, suspended a churches ability to disaffiliate from the United Methodists. Over 170 churches filed suit and won the ability to do so. Last year, our church voted, heavily, in favor of disaffiliating. We then joined the Global Methodist Church and have recently merged with a smaller, older congregation that had, earlier, disaffiliated and also joined the GMC.
The UMC recently held their general conference and the woke now control things. This website runs down the changes to the Book of Discipline codified at the general conference. Our pastor had always told us he would never marry a same sex couple, now the UMC encourages same sex marriage as well as abortion.

The left is at work runing even religion.

Spin Zone / Bragging a Little
« on: March 27, 2024, 06:50:36 AM »
My youngest grandson plays soccer. He is a junior in HS this year and has played on the Varsity team since he was a Freshman. In his Freshman year the team made the 6A semi-finals before losing. Last year they made it to the final before losing in OT after playing 36 minutes a man down.
This year, they are currently 16-0 overall and finished their region play last night with a 5-3 win in OT. The team they played last night was also 5-0 coming in to last night's game. Our boys were down 2-3 at the half and tied it up in the second half to send it to OT. They scored twice in the OT periods locking up the Region title. The three goals they gave up last night was the highest number they had given up all season.
They have two more games scheduled before the state playoffs begin on April 19th. They are going to play two 7A teams in the next couple of weeks. Their record should give them home field advantage in the playoffs. Hopefully they can take that last step and claim a state title this year.

Spin Zone / TikTok Bill
« on: March 13, 2024, 06:45:29 PM »
The TikTok Bill has been passed by the House. It is said that it is just to ban TikTok. Here is a link to the text of the bill. Go to Section 3Bii (starts on Page 9) What I read appears to give the President some latitude to designate other apps or companies also. Let me know what you think.

« on: February 29, 2024, 06:41:39 AM »

He's a junior this year, in the previous two years the HS team was a semifinalist in the state tournament and last year a finalist, losing in OT. This year they have started out 8-0 and only given up four goals in nine games overall, first game was considered a scrimmage. This coming week they will start their conference play. They are currently ranked first in Georgia and second in the nation for spring soccer.
