Yesterday, Saturday November 1st, 2008, Deerfield Academy Varsity (B) Water Polo went from a 10-0 record to a 10-1 record, we lost, to Choate, and so ended our undefeated season.
I'm sad to see it go, I guess this just wasn't our time, no matter how much we wanted it.
1st Quarter DA: 1 Choate: 4
2nd Quarter DA: 3 Choate: 5
3rd Quarter DA: 5 Choate: 7
4th Quarter: DA: 6 Choate: 9
To our undefeated season, rest in peace, I wish we could have met, if only I had saved the three.

I'd like to congratulate and thank you guys for every goal you scored, every time you gave 110%, every time you swam up the pool and back trying to get the ball, every time you wanted to give up but didn't, every time where it looked like we couldn't do it but we did, and for the one time where we couldn't. It's thanks to you that we made it this far, and I wouldn't have wanted to play with any other team. Thanks for a great season! I'm already psyched for next year!

I'm a bit late, but...this is a bit old. Ever since that game you have saying "if only this" "if only that"
We all did our best, which was insanely good, so there's no point bringing up the if only's. We are dealing with the what happened, not the if only's. The is and was, not the could have been or could have done.
Drop it, and save the if onlys for the Choaties next year - "If only Deerfield hadn't beaten us..."
