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!

My latest soccer game...

Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to update you on my latest game. We played Sunday, April 22nd, and, we won!!! Yay!!! =) The final score was 7-1. Even in the heat of the day, everyone played very well. Some people said it was the best game we've played. So right now, our place is 1-2-3. One win, two loses, and three ties! I am really looking forward to our tournament this weekend in Hickory, NC. It will be a long drive, but I can't wait! I'll keep you updated on the tournament next week.
Until then,
