There was nothing going on this week besides school, but the weekend held the first soccer tournament of the year! There were five teams in a bracket, so everybody played four games. The only problem was that since we are a new team, our coach asked to be in the silver or bronze flight. Instead, the directors of the tournament put us in the gold flight which held three out of the top five teams in the state!
There was only one team that was worse than us in the bracket, and we beat them about five to nothing. However, we were shut out against all the other teams, and one of the losses was pretty bad. We still did good though compared to the teams that we were playing. We were losing 6-0 in one game, but after halftime we managed to keep them scoreless, which was very impressive. Especially because they were the second best team in the state!
The last team that we played beat us 5-0, but two of their goals were off of bad calls by the ref. We also kept them scoreless after halftime as well! The one team that we could not hold though was a team called Arsenal. They beat us really bad, and when they decided to try and not score in the second half and focus on passing, they still scored two more goals. They were the top 02 team in the state though. It was still fun to get to beat at least one team in the whole tournament. Otherwise, it was pretty depressing.
The next day was actually Labor Day, so it was a whole day for resting. Actually, we spent the first half of the day shopping and running errands, and during the second half of the day, my friend was able to come over for a while. That was the end of the long three day weekend. Not to mention that we did not get any homework from school on Friday! Now it is time to get back up early again, and at least enjoy a short four day week. Thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!
that's a crazy soccer bracket!
