Soccer....soccer....and MORE soccer

This was our day yesterday, Saturday. It was fun though. It started with Morgan's game beginning at noon. Our plan was to leave at half time because Chandler's game WAS SUPPOSE to be starting at 2:00. Well, at half time of her game the score was tied so Tommy, my brother, who is Morgans coach really didn't want her to leave. She is one of the top scorers and best on the team. She really didn't want to leave either. Her words to me were, "Momma, I really want to be able to score in every game." So, we didn't leave, we stayed. And yes, we ended up winning the game and yes, Morgan did score. So, all was well.

Chandler had called some where in there to inform me that his game was going to be starting early. Probably around 1 or 1:30. As soon as Morgan's game was over, we headed, quickly to White House. When we got there, Cha's team was already in the second half with no score. You could tell it was a very intense game. Right, Sis Shaw? Anyway, at the end of the game, still there was no score. This meant that we went into P.K.'s. For those of you who don't know what that is, I will explain. 5 players from each team have a chance to shoot straight at the goal, with only the goal keeper in the box to try and stop it. Our guys got all 5 goals. Chandler was one of those guys....Go Cha! Their team missed one of their goals. WE WON THE FIRST GAME. Go Royals!

Our next game didn't start until 8:00pm. This would be the championship game. OH, the pressure!!!!! Since we did have several hours to kill, the team opted to go to Subway for lunch. After lunch, the majority of us went back to the soccer field to just hang out and watch the other teams play.

8:00pm...it's time! This game was so stressful. I'm not kidding, I got a headache during it. It was so close and so aggressive and so NOT FAIR. I'm not too observant BUT, even I could tell that the referee wasn't calling the plays fair. It was so clear that he was for the other team. Just NOT right!!!! Anyway, we did end up losing by 1 goal. It should not have been this way. If our guys had been treated fairly, it would have at least been, well, maybe we would have won it. Anyway, we came in 2nd in the tournament. It was kinda sad for it to all be over.

It has been a very busy season, but, it's been alot of fun. These are a great group of kids. They have good attitudes. I'm proud of them and thankful Chandler can play with a Christian team. Until next year......Go Royals!!!!!!
