Soccer Tourney Time
Aug
2010
So, this weekend we had our first real experience with an all weekend soccer tournament. Ally’s GSA team played in a Tournament over in Buckeye. One game Friday night, there was supposed to be a game on Saturday and a game on Sunday with a possible Championship game on Sunday.
They won their first game Friday night and were set to return on Saturday for game number two. Unfortunately, due to a scheduling mix-up on Saturday the girls game was rescheduled for Sunday which meant they had a game at 11, 1 and potentially 3. Each game lasts an hour so it didn’t give the girls a lot of break.
The girls tied their first game of the day and had to win the next one in order to have a shot at the championship game.
Beth and I decided to break out the portable propane grill we’ve used for camping and cook up some hot dogs between games 1 and 2. It was a blast – we had hotdogs, chips, oranges, bananas and drinks. We were able to feed the team and any of the parents\kids there that wanted food! I was a grilling fool!
It must have given the girls the boost they needed, too – or maybe it was the fact that they are a strong team with strong coaches. They won their 2nd game of the day and then went on to play for the championship at 3 against a strong team from the Sandusky area. It was a hard fought match but in the end the girls prevailed by a final score of 2-1.
Congrats to all of the girls on a great game. I know Ally didn’t let go of her trophy the rest of the day and night…though she did finally put it down to go to sleep.
