Suffield Academy Alumni Soccer (2012)
Note: this was written in August 2024 to recreate a post which was lost. All of my old computers, Google Drive, Facebook, etc. were all searched for context, but only what is shown below was able to be recovered. I will try to add some details, but as my memories have faded, this may well be all that I have left of that moment in time.
8 September 2012
The Suffield Academy Tigers played an exhibition game against the Alumni Team.
Due to the obvious inclement weather I didn’t suit-up and chose to just walk the grounds a bit.
An interior picture below shows the athletic trophy case in the Tisch Field House. On the middle shelf to the right are the team pictures of three championship teams at the end of the 80s while I was there. My senior year varsity team in 1991 was undefeated in the regular season but lost in the playoffs to a team we had beat earlier that year. That was unfortunate, and if you don’t win, you don’t get any recognition… except for, maybe, a blog post thirty-years later.
A little rain never hurt anybody, I can’t believe I chose not to participate! I also dropped the ball four years prior in 2008 because ‘I stayed up too late.’ I would have a nice run in the near future, showing up to play in two and support a few others [see “Suffield Academy” or “Alumni” tags at the bottom].
