It was a blazing hot day with a heat index of 98 degrees. So hot that the ref called for water breaks at the midpoint of each half. The heat didn’t seem to faze the boys, though, as they continued their unbeaten streak this season with a 4-1 win. Ben and one of his good friends on the team were named co-captains for the season (and maybe the year) at the practice prior to this game and they both wore their armbands proudly. Ben doesn’t say much about these things but I could tell that he was quite pleased and honored by the designation.
