SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP GAME '08

By: Bballorange4814

“Kylie wake up!” My mom said as she tried
to wake me up to get ready for the championship soccer game. I was
very excited. Then I jumped out of bed and went downstairs to eat
some cereal for breakfast. After I ate breakfast I went upstairs to
get ready to play in the most important game of the season. Then at
9:45 a.m I left for the school to get on the bus to go to the
championship game, we were playing at Central middle school at 11:00
a.m.

We were in our maroon uniforms and were ready to come
back and get revenge for them beating us before 2-1. There were only
two reasons of why I was nervous. The first one was we had lost to
central in the regular season. I was also nervous because it was the
championship game.

“The starting line up is as follows: Traci in
goal, Kylie at sweeper, Anna and Taylor you two at fullback
positions, Emily P you're at stopper, Kelsie and Kalee halfbacks,
Alexis and Erica are the wings, Monica at center mid, and Emily B at
striker.” Coach had said right before the game started and she
told us, “ Work hard and come out with a victory.”

Kelsie and Emily P had to straight mark. Emily straight
marked number eight and Kelsie straight marked number seven. Everyone
else stuck to the game and didn't worry just about one person, but
mostly every person.

That game was tough, we played as hard as we could. The
game wasn't close at all. The only time it was was when the score was
2-1.We came out with a great victory! The final score was 4-1.

The Central team thought they were going win because
they had beat us in the regular season. But they were wrong. We
defeated them because we worked as a team and didn't argue with each
other because we were mad. One of the only times that I remember any
of us getting mad was when the Central team's best player came down
the field and scored. But then we just said “ shake it off,
next time they come down the field we'll get the ball out before it
gets to the goal.”

After we won the game all of us were so happy! The
championship game meant a lot to us because we knew that we
accomplished our goal. Time seemed to stop and I don't know why.
Maybe because of that we won. But once the referees blew there
whistles I knew that everything we had worked so hard for came true.
All I saw were happy faces and excitement in our eyes. I could see
that Coach was really glad and our parents were all happy they all
had smiles on their faces. Coach was smiling and she told us that she
was really impressed with how we played.

Our season record was really good we had only lost two
games but beat one of the teams in the playoffs and the other team in
the championship game.

I
learned a very big lesson. That lesson was to never
give up. The reason I learned that was because our team won and that
sense we lost in the regular season we knew that they would be tough
and they were but we never gave up and it showed.

I had a really good season with this team and I had a
lot of fun!
