Today we had a soccer tournament at Brookhouse school. There were 8 teams involved. We were split into two separate pools and we played the first game. The girls started off a bit sleepy but they worked hard. The team we played against appeared like they were not going to be that good (did not really have uniforms, some in pants, some with hats…things like that) but they ended up doing really well. The first game ended 1-1 and we knew we were going to have to work hard. We rested one game and then played the next which we won 1-0. YEA! We rested another one and played again and won that on 2-0…YEA YEA! After the games for our pool finished it ended up that we tied with the first team we had played (with points) so we had to have a shoot out. WE WON THE SHOOT OUT! Which put us directly into the semi finals. We waited one game and then played our fourth game winning 3-0. This then put us into the FINAL game. The girls played hard the whole game….1 minute left and the referee called hand ball in front of the goal (TOTALLY WAS NOT A HAND BALL…EVEN THE OTHER COACH SAID SO). So, they get a free kick….shoot…and our goalie blocked the goal and caught it. WE REJOICE! Referee blows his whistle and calls a re-kick. He had not blown his whistle before the penalty (HIS FAULT) and the girl kicked too soon (THEIR FAULT). So, they got a re kick and scored on the second one. 30 seconds left in the game….we pushed our whole team up the field and attacked hard…but unfortunately were not able to score. It was sad end to an AWESOME day. The girls ended up in 2nd which was more than we hoped for. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a lot of fun! YEA YEA YEA! Much better than 7th place like last year! HA! We have all learned a lot since then…thankfully!
