Another round of spring season sports comes to a close. As we finish out our Spring 2011 go-round, we saw a disappointing loss in the first round of the season tournament for soccer. Shoot, girls, I thought we would take the "W" on that one. And Oldest's team lost in the semi-finals for house basketball.
The Hub and his girls put on quite the performance for Saturday's first round of the spring season tournament. They played well, according to me and not according to Mr. Competitive, aka, The Hub. We scored 1 and they answered with 1. We scored a 2nd and they answered with a 2nd. Friends, we got down to 15 seconds in the game and that silly old ball got past our forwards, our midfielders and trotted its way right on back to our defense. With seemingly no effort, it sailed past our defender, standing there like the last man standing. It was just their player vs. our goalie. She tried to stop that thing, I promise she did. It bounced off the goalpost, rolled just over the goal line and she trapped it. Unfortunately the trap was over the goal line. And I kid you not, it was literally score...pause...pause...whistle - game over. 2 or 3 seconds after that final score, they take the lead at 3 goals and the game is over. So disappointing... With that round 1 defeat the girls were out of the tournament. What a way to start the Saturday morning! At least we could spend the rest of the day at the pool. That's exactly what we did.
Soccer Chick was elected to All-Stars so she has one more week of soccer. Game will be on Saturday. Hope they do well!
Oldest's house league team played on Wednesday night. We were hosting our small group for church so we didn't get to see the game. I heard they lost by 2 points.
Things will be quiet on the sports front for the remainder of the summer. We'll head into fall pretty hard. Oldest will be away at college and the three youngest will be in school. Hallelujah! Youngest starts kindergarten in September. Goodbye daycare bill. Its not been nice knowing you!
