Soccer Season

This was Little's first full season on varsity. The team was maxed out with numerous seniors and juniors. 

Eric and I had a new experience this season, too...emcee! During all home games, we made announcements, ran the scoreboard, and played music. We were responsible for their warm up hype music, the National Anthem, halftime songs, and even weather delay songs (ie. The Thunder Rolls). The job came with the best seat in the house!!

The technical equipment was a bit overwhelming at first. One of the speakers blew, we couldn't get the microphone to work, and we learned that the pairing of our phone with the sound system also meant that text message notifications were shared with spectators. Oops!

Her team dominated our region! They usually did a shut out where the other team didn't score a goal. 

As expected, they won region! 😊

All were smiles after a game well played.

They made the playoffs. Here's a nice action shot taken by the local photagrapher.

They continued their streak to win Upper State!

Before they headed out to the State finals, the coaches cooked them a nice meal.

The team received a "clap out" in the hallways by fellow students as they headed to the bus.

Then onto Columbia, SC, at Memorial Staduim in a charted bus!

The weather delays pushed their game back a bit, but the delay didn't take away their engery as they walked out onto the field! It was neat hearing each player's name announced over the loud speaker.

A team prayer before they take the field.

Then at 9pm, the championship game began.

Although we lost 0-2, the girls played well. Here's our Little with the team trophy and her silver medal.

Very proud of our Lady Patriots!
