State Champs


We had the state soccer games this past weekend.

Clay's team lost their first game and won their second game.

Ken's, Cole's, and Jack's team won all three games in their pool. Then for the championship game, they just could not score. They stayed on the other teams side almost the whole game, but could not get a ball in the goal. So, they went into overtime. After overtime, we scored two goals and the other team scored two goals. Then we went into sudden death...The other team made their goal, and we missed out goal. So, our team came in second.

Luke's team won their first three games easily. Then the last game they had to win because both teams were undefeated. It was a tough game. The other team did a great job passing, but we had brute strength. Luke took it away from their forwards so many times. At the end of the game, neither team had scored. So, we had to go into over time. Our first three kickers made their goals and the other teams first three kickers missed their goals. So, Luke did not need to kick and neither did kicker number 5. Luke's team won state.

So, out of all of my boys, Luke's team won state. I am so proud of all of them. They worked so hard!
