I cannot believe tournament weekend is upon us. The forecast calls for rain all day tomorrow. We play Sunday too, but it is going to be drying out and colder. As of right now, we are supposed to play rain or shine. But if it is storming, I don't know about that. We'll have to see.
Two weekends ago, Gramma and Papa came to watch Bri play on a Saturday - we were at the field at 8:30AM.
Some warm up...
Bri looked awesome that day. She made a number of attempts on goal. Either she slightly missed the goal or the goalie would get it, but she was playing hard.
She was "on" that day...
She is also our "throw in" and "corner kick" girl...
Bri did make one beautiful goal that day and she was so stinkin' excited...
The Golden Eagles won that game 4-2...
Proud Gramma and Papa...
Doug and I had some errands to run that afternoon, so my parents took Bri out to lunch and spent the afternoon with her...
The next day, we had a make up game Sunday evening. We also had committed to a Halloween party that evening, but we couldn't miss the game. So, we went for about an hour to see everyone but then had to go. We were sad we had to cut out early...
But to make up for it, the Golden Eagles were on fire that night. The girls played a-maz-ing.
Bri, Maddie and Ella are our starters...
The girls (the whole team) were beasts that night! LOL! Our team won 8-0.
The following weekend, we had a rematch against the team that beat us 2-1 a few weekends before (the Ravens). That was the game we were down 4 girls and the opposing team was super tough, but the girls still held their own.
This game was on a rainy Sunday evening, so that made things a bit interesting...
The girls played super, super hard, and the Golden Eagles ended up in a tie with the Ravens 2-2.
With that tie, we ended up in 2nd place for the season. Just one point behind the top team. I am so, so, so very proud of our girls!!! (Just to point out though, we had less goals made against us ~ just saying. ;D )...
So, wish us luck in the tournament this weekend. We are in the toughest bracket (so we've been told). It is going to be a tough couple of days ~ especially if it is raining and/or cold.
Go Team Golden Eagles!!!
