“It was Senior Night, and the boys

“ ey’ll never have any trouble getting
ready for Carmel—in any sport.”

Bucello said the penalty was the
dagger for his team.

“ ey got four goals o that penalty,”
the coach said. “Considering our man

point, we weren’t nervous going into the

and couldn’t get out of it. ey had

“It was a very frustrating loss, Bucello
