Before the game, Coach Vince told Zach that he had a good feeling about him today, and asked him if he thought he could put the ball in the net for him. Zach told him he could, and Coach started him at center.
The game was tied 1-1 when, in the 2nd quarter, the Green goalie misplayed a ball in front of the net, and Zach was there to put it in.
The call (provided by me, while pacing the sidelines and screaming like some kind of unhinged lunatic) went something like this:
"GO, ZACH, THAT'S YOUR BALL! GO GET IT! GO GET IT! SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT!"
"Did it go in? Did it go in the net? YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
His goal put the Red Team up 2-1, and they never looked back. Final score: Red Team 4, Green Team 1.
After the game, the kids and I enjoyed a celebratory meal of burgers, chicken nuggets, and milkshakes at Nifty Fifty's.
Three more weeks in the season - here's hoping for more trips to Nifty's before the season's done.

Don't worry about it, Allen: I would call that completely appropriate enthusiasm!
