Are there such things as moral victories?
We played Greensburg Central Catholic, one of my old high schools tonight. Lost 1-0 but their only goal came in the first minute of the game. The first quick goal aside, we (Can I say we when I just kept stats and screamed like a lunatic?) played them even the rest of the way.
GCC is supposed to be the best team in the section and has a massive winning streak. Unlike the team I was on, they didn’t have a girl take the field at any point. That we played them so tough after getting down like that on their home field made me really happy. It would have been easy to fold and end up losing by a bundle. Everyone played really hard and really well.
Still…Still…Still…
Losing sucks, especially when you know you’re good enough to win. It actually made me think long and hard about whether there’s such a thing as a moral victory. My gut says we’re too good for those.
