Soccer Update...

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let ya'll know that I will be playing on 2 teams this fall! I am very excited about it. It will take a lot of commitment and dedication, but I really feel like this is a good experience for me. My official soccer practices start next week, and the tournaments are coming up too. I love soccer, but this extremely hot weather is killing us out there. Here's an old saying that I made up that always keeps me going. You know you are a true soccer player when you are fully dedicated and come to as many practices and games as you possibly can. You know you are dedicated to soccer when you give your best. And you know you are giving your best when you win games. best of luck to all of you, no matter what your game is.

Lil' Bro's

Hey Everyone,
Both of my 'lil brothers are signed up for soccer now. They are both really excited. One of them has never played soccer before, so I promised to help him out with everything he needs to know. My dad is already the coach for one of my brothers, and he is going to be the coach of my other brother too. Just thought I'd let you all know.
Talk to you later,

Disappointing News...=(

Hey Everyone,
Well, just wanted let you know the results of what place we are in. They decided NOT to count our game, which means we are now in 9th out of tenth place. I'm personally really disappointed, but I guess there's always next season. I will try to post cool things on here until soccer starts up again this fall. But until then, HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!

Last Soccer Game Update...

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to update you on our latest game. It was actually a make-up game from a game that was called because of rain. We actually played on Saturday, but I haven't had a chance to post it yet. Well, I can't really give you the score, because we never got to finish the game. After about 14 minutes of playing, we all saw striking lightning, and then heard thunder a few seconds later. Everyone quickly took shelter at the park's shelter. The referee told us that we would half to wait 30 minutes each time we saw and heard lightning and thunder. Well, the lightning and thunder went on and off for about an hour or so, and each time it struck, we had to restart the 30 minute clock. Well, it was about 6:00 by that time, and the sky showed no sign of a break with lightning or thunder. =( So, everyone went home. Well, there is good news about this, and bad news. The good news is that before we had to stop, we scored 1 goal. The bad news is that the referee said that it would have to be half time before he could write down that we just won, just to be fair. So, they might just not write this game down. Which means we might end up in 9th place, whereas we could have been in 6th place if we had won. At this point, no one really knows. My coach wanted to reschedule the game on a weeknight, but the other coach can't. So, that's pretty much all I know. I will give you more information when I get it. Thanks! Until then, =)

We Are The Champions...

Hello again everyone,
Just wanted to let you know about our tournament in Hickory, NC. Well, our first game was played Saturday, the 28th, at 9:30. Our team must have been really pumped up, because we won 7-0. Our next game was played at 2:30. However, due to extremely bad reffing, we lost 2-1. Sunday, the next day, we played at again at 9:30, and won 5-0, allowing us to be in the finals again at 2:30. It was a long and hard game. I got a yellow card, (but not for fowl language) (which is how most yellow cards are given out). At the very end the score was 2-1. OUR WAY!!! We won the gold championship medal in the tournament!!! I'm really really happy, and thought all of you guys might be too! Well, I'll let you know how the last two games of our season goes! Until then,
Krissy =)

Here's a couple pictures of the front of our first place medals!
