Day 192: Field hockey county finals

"We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present" - Derek Jeter

Project 365: #192

This was the start of the 2015 Field Hockey Tournament Championship Game for Morris County at 7 pm last night. No one can say they don't want to win, as everyone wants to win! The Mendham Varsity team has earned the number 1 seed in the county and made it to the final match of the championship to play Madison, the only team they have lost to in the season! This has been a busy season, with pre-season starting four weeks before school in the summer. What a privilege for Caitlin to have been able to be part of the team! It has required a great amount of commitment and dedication six days a week, and at least two matches per week. This match was played offsite on neutral territory - hosted by Boonton High School, and unbelievably professionally organised. Final score 2:1 down, sadly Mendham did not win,  but an amazing match to watch,  so exciting I chewed off all my fingernails! (I also now know why we have field hockey blankets to take to matches, brrr!!)
