It's a quite unusual for us to have back to back tournament weekends, especially so early in the soccer season. But the weekend after we went to Kennesaw, Georgia, we played in the Brentwood Tournament.
I missed the first game due to a PEO Officers Training meeting, however I was kept up via texts and was sad to learn that we'd lost our first game. Matthew said we just did not play well and that we could and should have beaten that team.
We played again on Saturday evening and won the game 1-0 literally scoring the only goal with left than 7 minutes left in the game. That game allowed us to play in the Semi-final game on Sunday morning rather than the consolation round.
I didn't need to miss two Sunday mornings in a row, so Christian rode with some friends on the soccer team and we were at church, receiving texts on the status of the game. We were down by one, then we tied it up - then we stayed tied and went into overtime and won by a single goal in overtime. (Remember I'm receiving these texts during church but based on the outcome of this game depended on if we headed to Brentwood after church or not).
So we loaded up, ate our sandwiches in the car and drove down there in time for the Championship game. We were down 0-1 at half and the coaches pulled a good coach/bad coach "come to Jesus" talk with the boys, who then came out and scored 3 in the second half, leading us to victory and the Championship. We were so proud of them, especially since we have played in this Brentwood tournament many times over the years of soccer and have never made it to the semi-final games. So this was a huge win for us, not to mention Back to Back Champion weekends!!!
Hilarious picture!
