When its blazing hot in the summer that means its soccer tournament time! Mollie's team played in the Murray Max cup mid August. It was warm but we actually had pretty mild weather and even got rained out one game.
They fought so hard. We lost a lot but won a few too. Going into our last game we knew we'd have to score 9 goals to be able to place. That is a pretty far stretch for soccer and for this team. Well these girls are fighters and with more than half of those goals by half time we knew we had to go for it! The other team was not happy about us running up the score, but its a tournament! So we had to. Especially when it comes down to point differential. Goals 7 and 8 flew right it! And we knew time was short so we were getting nervous. MOLLIE got the ball and went for most of the length of the field and scored! SECONDS later the ref blew the whistle calling the game. WHEW!!! WE DID IT! Just barely. 9 goals and a last second one by my daughter! That got us into the playoff, which we lost.
But we still got to go to the podium for 2nd place in the Max Cup and the girls all got silver medals.
I love that they get these celebrity opportunities! So fun and so proud of these girls!!
Way to fight sis! You are becoming quite the little soccer player. Keep it up and stay strong!
