This is one of those weekends I will never truly be able to completely describe in words. We had to go to Phoenix on Friday for a 6pm game. Samone went down with Lily. Me, David and the kids went down around 2pm. We checked in to our hotel and let the kids swim a bit while we cooked some hot links on the BBQ!!! We headed over to the game. It was certainly chilly out. It was a good game. We won 2-0!! Samone stayed the night with Lily, so it was just the four of us at the hotel!! The kids went right to bed. The next morning we took our time getting ready, met Mary to pick up Samone and Lily, then headed of to "The Hood" four our League game!!!
Very interesting game. The ref made 14 calls against us and 1 for us!! It was so crazy.... It almost got to be kind of fun!! Fortunately, we still managed to pull off a tie game, which put us in first place for our League and secured our spot in moving back up to State League next year!!! WooHoo!!!
We got sandwiches and went back to the condo to let the kids lay around the pool for awhile!!!
Our next game was a tougher one!! The Blackhawks 01 team. It was 0-0 at half. Then we scored early in the second half. We got a PK called in our favor in the box!!! Samone and Morgan both wanted to take the shot, but Samone got it!! AND SHE MISSED IT!!! Oh it just killed her. We ended up losing 2-1!!! It SUCKED!!!!
That night the Hazlett's came to our condo and we bbq'd at the pool and let the kids swim!! It was nice!! Kids got to bed a bit late!! The next morning David told Samone and I to go to the game so Kendall and Adrien could sleep in!!
That was a game!!!! This time it was Sereno 01. Pretty even the whole game. 0-0 at half!! Then Val scored on a corner!!! Unfortunately, they also scored and we ended in a tie..... going in to PK's!!! PK's are HORRIBLE!!!! I was so nervous I could barely watch!!!
Sereno went first and missed!!!
Samone went next and......... MADE IT!!! This was her redemption to herself for missing that PK in the game.
Then Sereno again and they missed again!!!
Then Sierra. She missed too.... just above the net.
Sereno's 3rd player made it!!
Then Alyssa was up and MADE IT!!! Oh I can not even explain the energy going on!! Everyone was up and pacing!! It was crazy!!!
Sereno was up again and missed again. So now it was 2-1. If we made the next shot we would win! Morgan was up!!! SHE MADE IT!!!! Oh my goodness!! We were all jumping up and down!! It was so exciting!! I can't even explain it!! We were going into the Championship!!!! And guess who we were playing again..... Blackhawks 01 team!!
Well, Samone and I went to collect the rest of our family. We got checked out of the hotel and went to Streets of NY to eat!! Got some Jamba Juice.... a bit of a mistake because first I spilt some on my seat then Adrien knocked a hole in Kendall's and it spilt all over her seat!!! What a mess!!
But, the game!! Oh my!! I have to say it was a very different game then the first one we played against them. This one, we clearly dominated. It was 0-0 with like 5 minutes left in the game!!! Then Sofie was able to get one in the net!!! We thought we had it!! Then, through some shady circumstances, they scored, with like 30 seconds left in the game!! CRAZY!!! So, off to PK's we go.... AGAIN!!!!
It was more than our old hearts could handle!! We wanted this win so bad!! SAMONE was up first.....
I almost couldn't watch!! But SHE MADE IT!! It just sailed in the net!!!
Blackhawks were up..... They missed!!!! 1-0 us
Next up, Sierra..... SHE MADE IT!!! Her redemption!!
Blackhawks were up.. They missed again!!! 2-0 us
Next up Alyssa..... SHE MADE IT!!!! So Blackhawks had to make the next one....
Blackhawks up.... Mackenzie made an amazing block and THEY MISSED!!! 3-0 US!!!
WE WON!!!
OMG!!! WE WERE ALL JUMPING AND CHEERING!! THE TEAM ALL RUSHED TO MACKENZIE AND JUST SEEING THEM ALL OUT THEIR, JUST THE GIRLS, OUR THEIR CELEBRATING AND CONGRATULATING EACHOTHER!! IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH!!
So many times we have been the ones walking away with our heads hung low, consoling our kids!!1 But now.... two weekends in a ROW!!! WE WERE THE CHAMPIONS!!! The girls were all running around spraying each other with water and just being silly and crazy!! They were all just so happy. And even the parents!! We were so happy for them!!!
We have had so many downs, these recent ups have been so refreshing!!!! And Samone just ROCKED IT!! She played defense the whole weekend and it was actually the first time EVER that I wasn't hoping they would put her in Mid!! She needed to stay in D if we had any chance of winning!! Stay in D she did and WIN WE DID!!!!
Samone played 100% of 5 games in three days!!! We figured it was about 330 minutes of soccer!!! Sweet little thing was EXHAUSTED!!! I let her stay home on Monday just to recuperate!! She is a rock star!! So proud of my Sweet Samone and so proud of her team!!
