Soccer Season is in full swing, and we have been so busy, I'm finally posting pictures now, and its half way thru the season. I love watching them play, its SO competitive and so am I, so I'm screaming my head off. Last week, I was so into it, I didn't see Jake kicking his own soccer ball right out in the field during the game...oops...hee hee!
Parker in action! He is on the "Black Knights" and without him, sadly, his team would be horrible. Parker gets very frustrated, because Parker is a great player and gets all the goals, but he does it alone. His team has a lot of first timers, so Parker gets very upset, when they lose. Last week, he worked so hard in the over 100 heat, he came out crying cuz he was sooo tired and hot...poor guy, he gave it everything he had. He might look small, but he is a huge threat out there. Its so fun to watch!
Marissa is now in the Under 12 division and its a huge step up. There are some BIG girls out there. But look at this picture..running in for a goal, with all orange players around. She is doing great this year, and is one of the top 4 players on her team out of the 12. Her team is called "The Blue Bomber Babes". She works so hard and has improved so much from the years past! She has had some awesome passes that were perfect set-ups for goals. She does great!
Marissa played in the 2nd week of Playoffs and her team ended up beating TWO undeafeated teams to WIN the Championship!
These girls played their hardest and ended up devastating the team that had beat us twice before in the regular season!
Since they were #1 in Visalia they were invited to the Region Tournament that same weekend. Pictured was the 3rd and final game of the day! (Marissa #2 stealing the ball for fast break).
We ended up losing this game 0-1 which, made us not continue championship play on sunday. Marissa is shown above breaking for a goal in the 4th quarter which would of tied up the game!
Still trying to score in the last minutes of the 4th. This Orange team played us hard, but we held him to the one goal, which was made by someones knee kicking it up in the air, and it hitting the top bar and falling in behind the goalie. This Orange Crush team continued to Sunday and actually won the whole Region Tournament!
Very Proud of all the girls! They had their soccer party last nite and her coach Chrissy said some really wonderful things about her!
The #1 Visalia Under 12 Champions!! Played 6 games in 4 days! These girls ROCKED!
