Ph. (far left) knocked in the opening goal in Monday night’s summer league match versus
West Genesee. I’m fairly sure W.G. brought their younger group; it ended with
Ph. & Co. up, despite fielding a squad two players short of the usual
eleven.

Not quite as intriguing, but almost: during the match the coach turned to me
and asked, "Did Ph. tell you?"  He hadn’t–not yet, anyway–but they need a
sub (i.e., a warm body) to fill in as the adult at practice Sunday and to pace
the sidelines during Monday evening’s match. Sure, give me the whistle; I’ll do
it. Just this once.
