Kelly and Nolan played in Ft. Worth on a very windy day.  The winds were 25 to 30 mph with gusts to 40. It played havoc with both teams but I think the Nolan players were a little more used to it than the Kelly guys.  The game was well played by both sides and could have gone either way.  It was also well officiated add we have no complaints there.  Nolan scored at about the 20 minute mark on shot high in the net just out of the Keeper's reach and against the wind.  The Nolan player did a nice job of sending it high and letting the wind keep it down and into the top of the net.  Matt Kirby was not full speed and still wearing a brace on his ankle.  He did not start either half but came in about 10 or 15 minutes in.  Kirby scored on low shot to the far corner from the right side after getting the Keeper out of position. It was a very good shot with couple of defenders on him and a difficult angle.  It was 1-1 at half time and Nolan got the wind in the second half.  I think it was almost harder to score with the wind than into it.  The ball just kept getting away and getting blown across the line for goal kicks.

Nolan scored to go up 2-1 on a curving corner kick from the left side that the wind helped into the far corner at about the 60th minute.  Kelly had some chances after that but just couldn't get the shot off or missed when it did.  Kelly seemed to have more difficulty going into the wind than Nolan.  Nolan had some very good defensive players who had something to do with it also. Its too bad that these two teams had to meet before the state tournament, because from what I have seen, I think these may be the two best teams in the TAPPs playoffs.  I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan won state.  They were state champs last year with a largley junior team, and those guys are now seniors.  Kelly had a great run this year, and I congratulate the players and Coach Joe on a fine year.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
