Corey's Soccer Team 1st place

We finally have finished up Corey's season. Going into the playoffs, we were in 2nd place with Aggies in 1st place. The playoffs went pretty good for us. We actually beat the 1st place team, the Aggies 3-1. Then we played the 3rd place team and beat them 5-2. So if we beat this last team, the 4th place team, Lightning, we would for sure be in 1st place. Well we actually lost 1-0. It was a hard game. These other girls are from Brigham City and 8 of the 12 girls are giants. Like 5-6 inches taller than our girls and 30 pounds heavier. So to say the least, we got pushed around like crazy, especially little Hannah and Corey. Corey kept getting hurt and falling down and crying. I was starting to get frustrated, along with Matt because we could not tell if she was really crying cause she was hurting or just frustrated. I think the girls knew the pressure of this game. So on top of the pressure and these huge girls, it was a rough game. The one goal that did go in, Corey was the last defender trying to get it away from this girl and it got past her and past the goalie. She was bawling because I think she felt like the goal was her fault, but I had to keep explaining to her that it is a team effort. Anyway, the girls were all bawling after the game and so sad because they needed to win that game.

All night, Corey was sad and kept re-hashing the game. Well come to find out, the Aggies lost to the 3rd place team, 1-0. That was not expected! Corey's mood soon changed because we then had a change at 1st. It came down to shut outs and points scored against us and we won it by one goal. Guess they don't count GOALS SCORED only GOALS SCORED AGAINST US. So I kept telling Corey that the defense won 1st place for them  this season. NICE JOB HAVOC. YOUR AWESOME, YOUR CRAZY, YOUR HAVOC. Congrats!

It is so fun to have a daughter that is talented at soccer. I love soccer and don't play  much anymore cause I am old and they don't have any leagues, so it is fun to be able to watch Corey play and to watch her team play. It is also fun to have a team that is so talented too. Love soccer and love to watch it. I secretly hope she continues to play through high school and maybe college. It would be so fun! I would be her biggest FAN!
