It's over ! Summer is here!

Brookfield East soccer, Brookfield Central softball.

Summer officially starts on Monday, but for me it started on Saturday with the state soccer title game.

I have been off covering Homestead soccer because Steve Tietz, the normal beat writer was in Madison with the softball team.

One of the toughest games I ever covered with the sectional final with Brookfield East, a far superior team, losing to Homestead, 1-0, despite outshooting them 22-2. I give Rich Dorn and his Highlanders all the credit in the world for scoring quickly against the Spartans and then shutting the door. But watching them play again on Thursday and then on Saturday, well they're offense was non-existent.

I really wanted to see Kate Reigle, Alex Piercy and Rebekah Roller, East's three key seniors, make it to the big show one final time.

***

When Brookfield Central lost to Germantown in the softball sectional semi-final, I didn't feel as disappointed, but the Lancers only lost three seniors. Coach Dawn Mooney-Lazu, the GMC Coach of the Year, did a wonderful job with that team.

***

Now I can focus on baseball, my favoite sport. Brookfield East and Central look solid and Tosa East looks improved. Tosa West might struggled again this year, but there is improvement on the horizon.

Be a hit and have a ball.
