Redemption

The much anticipated game of the season.....I was so nervous before the game, you would have thought I was the one playing. The Fire Foxes BEAT the Crazy Crocodiles 5-1 (although a few say 6-1). It was an action packed game to say the least. Our parents thus far have been relatively quiet and calm, but this game brought out some emotions from our parents. I'm right there with them! Not only did our kids out play their team our coaches out-coached theirs. So proud!

Alyssa was so nervous before the game. When the game started she was like a deer caught in headlights. It was like she was a different kid on the field. She would stand and watch the kids. What the heck! Not her at all. She definitely recognized the girls from last year that tried to take her out. Ugh! All I can think is that she was a bit worried about being kicked in the stomach again. Her team played so hard. Of course the other team was kicking, tripping and pushing our girls, but one thing is for sure, they did NOT back down. I have pictures of one of our players taking a cleat to the leg, another being grabbed by her shirt and another taking an elbow to the neck. SERIOUSLY! Pictures don't lie! Alyssa only got tripped a few times and only took a kick to the knee. Wow, did I just say only! ha ha! Anyway, so glad that game is done and over with. Now we can enjoy the rest of the season! Go Fire Foxes!!!!

Pauline (Sarah's Mom), Me and Mary Lin (Irelin's mom)....we were actually friends at a job right out of high school....now our kids are playing on the same team...small world!

Someone is nervous....Dad giving Alyssa a pep talk before the game started

Go right home after the game????? Not a chance. We had to discuss the game in detail, video and camera in hand, we enjoyed some Jamba Juice and Subway while discussing the game... LOVE our coaches!
