Happy spring break everyone! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these unusual circumstances. Undoubtedly, people are trying to find ways to pass the time. All sporting events have shuddered to a stop. It has been rough not having the premier league on every Saturday and Sunday. There is no hockey, no baseball and no basketball. Here in Indiana, it was painfully obvious that everyone felt the absence of the NCAA basketball tournaments last weekend when the country should have been crowning college basketball champions.
With that in mind, I thought what better way to bring back some normalcy to our life than to have our very own NHS boys soccer march madness bracket to determine the goal of the 2019 season. Our varsity team scored 61 total goals during our march to semi-state. Along with 3 additional great scoring opportunities that should have gone in, I have devised a 64 goal bracket (see above). The selection committee (i.e. Coach Dollaske) has determined the seeds for each goal and placed them into 4 regions named after our 4 amazing NHS soccer coaches. Each goal can be viewed on Youtube and voting will be completed for each region using Google forms. Voting for the 1st round will be open from now until Sunday, April 12 at 11:59PM. At that time the votes will be tabulated and I will begin putting together the videos for round 2. All links for videos and voting are listed below.

Below are close up images of the bracket to help you. You may notice that players might be competing against themselves in certain matchups. While I tried to avoid this scenario, it was impossible to avoid based on seedings. Plus, I think that adds some intrigue…
What some of our matchups look like in the first round.
