Soccer Update

We cam very close to going to States. Our second to last game, against CCA, we needed to tie or win. I didn't get to play at all, because it was such a challenging team, and I know that I'm still not skilled enough.

We were doing really well, all the way up until the very end. We were tied 0-0, and in the last three minutes, we slipped, leaving an opening, and they scored. We weren't able to return the goal in time. I was devastated. Most of the team was.

However, we played our best, and it wasn't our last game. Our last game was against New Testament, a team we knew we could beat. And we did. As it was our last game, Coach started all the seniors. I got to play for the majority of the game, as a midfielder. It felt really good to play for most of the game, but I felt a bit odd, as I had never played for that long in a game before, and some of the players I was defending were very fast, and I am not. However, I feel as though I played a very good game, especially for not getting to play as often as I would have liked.

I also did not lose as much weight, as I wanted to, but I still lost some, and I know my skills, especially my dribbling and passing skills have improved this season.

I do not know if I will pursue soccer in college, as I am probably not skilled enough to compete at varisty level, but I might join a club team, because I do have fun when I am playing soccer.
