ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) What kind of turtle is this? It was dead. What can we speculate upon it’s demise? Another turtle? Snake?

Has to be a snake or more predatory turtle, I’d think? Could be a number of things, I reckon. Anything from accidental ingestion of something to some type of injury to disease. I watched a very large (60 + lbs) snapping turtle pass away earlier this summer. It was right next to the edge of the water in the woods in a remote part of the refuge. It just sat there on land for weeks and didn’t move. It eventually just died. No clue what killed it. I imagine as warm as the waters are, there is all kinds of stuff waiting to pounce on any glitch on the immune system.

AUDub 11,147 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 So Sadie's team had two of the few layup games on their schedule for the year yesterday before a big tournament this coming weekend. Knew it would be a beatdown so they started her backup in goal and put her at striker. Spent the whole first game trying to get her a goal. The whole game was everybody trying to feed their keeper the ball up front. Ended up winning 4-1 in the first one, but she didn't get on the score sheet except for an assist. Second game, she finally breaks through and slots one inside the right post from her left foot to open the game. Everyone gave her a hug, including her coach calling her over. Rout was on after that. Up 5-0, we played a man down the rest of the game and couldn't stop scoring. Ended up 10-1. BUSA Bash this weekend. Going to be tough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, she's a keeper, so even the small glory of assists are something she rarely gets. Nothing quite like saving a ripper at full stretch though. Takes a special breed to enjoy keeper at her age. It can be really boring at times, really nerve racking during others, and everybody notices when the keeper has a bad day, unlike a field player that can get lost in the mix. She's been steady as hell all year though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, keeper mistakes are *always* noticed by *everyone*, and that's just one of the unique challenges of the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special breed, indeed. Like you said, keeper mistakes are *always* noticed by *everyone*, and that's just one of the unique challenges of the position. It was rough to open the season. New coach. 5 or so full practices because of a wet August. Team did not have their feet underneath them at all. She did a damn fine job keeping them in games initially though. Tend to get a lot of opportunities to do that when you’re facing 10+ shots per game. Probably her best game was a 2-0 loss in that first tournament of the season. Other team must have had 15 shots on frame. Best I’ve ever seen her play, flying all over the place, saving everything at or near full extension. Luckily, the ship has righted itself and they’re back to blowing teams out. We’ll see how far they’ve come in the tournament this weekend. Grouped with BUSA’s 07 Hypervenom, who usually plays tournaments in an 06 bracket, some team from Tennessee who is apparently highly ranked, and Briarwood, who beat us 2-1 early this year when Sadie was concussed, both goals coming with her backup in goal before they subbed her back in, but whom I expect we’ll thrash at full strength. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
