Hendersonville 3 - Franklin 2

A few days ago, the local (Nashville) paper ran a story about a high school soccer team whose mission this year was to regain the respect they deserved. Anyone watching tonight's contest (Hendersonville 3 - Franklin 2) could swear that this article was written about the Lady Commandos of Hendersonville, it wasn't. If there are any doubters left out there about the resolve of the black and gold, don't! Hendersonville (Govea) netted the first goal of the contest in the 32 minute of the first half and Franklin replied just 120 seconds later. That's what the scoreboard showed at half time. Just two minutes into the second frame, Franklin found their second and final score of the night. I must confess, I do not have the time - for it doesn't matter - when Kate Anthony (Hendersonville) knotted the contest at two-all, and with some three (give or take a few seconds) minutes left in the game, Allison Griffin, put the good guys (gals) ahead for good. But the offensive effort would not have made a difference had it not been for the outstanding play put forth by the midfield and defense, add to this the 6 great saves by keeper Carley Gaskin. When you ask your team to give it their all, not to ever give up, this is the kind of effort you have in mind.
