Soccer Tournament

Ashlee and Mikayla both played soccer for the city league this fall. At the end of the season they always have a two day tournament.  This weekend was the tournament.  They both did well.  You can see how much they improve in just a few months.  

Ashlee has never played goalie, nor did she have the desire to play goalie, but her coach put her in that position and she did extremely well.  During games I would hear other people on the sidelines watching the game say things like "Man, no other goalie would have got that", "Good job goalie".  One parent at their last game said she deserves an award for MVP.   She surprised herself and surprised all of us.  Her coach ended up saying that he thought she was probably one of the best goalies in the league at their end of the season party.  She stopped lots of goals. 

Ashlee's team played some tough games, but got knocked out of the tournament.   Mikayla's team took third place in the tournament.

For some reason, I didn't manage to get any pictures of Ashlee's team, I am a bad mom.  Here are some of Mikayla's team.
