I am very happy to inform all of you who are reading this that we are the champions of division 92. We had about 30 players and divided into 2 teams. One team played in the division 91 and the other was in the division 92. The age of all the guys on my team is between 13-16. The 16 year old guys played for the 93 team and all the other younger guys played for the 92 team. But the cool thing is that the younger guys can play with the older team too. The 92 team won the two first two games and tied the second game 0-0. The 92 team qualified for the quarterfinals and so did the 91 team even though they lost the first two games and won the third. I played mostly for the 92 team but also played for the 91 team. We won the quarterfinal game in penalty kicks, but sadly the 91 team was eliminated in their game and that was the end for them. Even though the 91 team was done playing they were still in it because we are all one team. There are many players and many ages but we are all one team. So they could still cheer us on even though they could not play themselves. In the semifinal game we tied 0-0 and won in penalty kicks again. The next day we played the final game at 9 in the morning. I was very excited to play in this game and be a part of this team. We did not start the game as well as others but we did play very well. The field was wet and muddy, but a lot better than the day before. We played a team from Costa Rica who was a good team, but not good enough. They scored two goals in the first 15 minuets but by the half we were tied 2-2; and I assisted the second goal. I had a shot in the second half that hit the crossbar and played well but we tied 2-2. So we went to penalty kicks again. We won them and everyone was screaming and hollering. We are the champions!!!
I want to thank all of you who prayed for me and my family and for the team as well. It was an amazing time and I hope that maybe I can go back next year. I will get some pictures up in the next few days of soccer and other random stuff. Keep up the prayer.
