field hockey

L's team finished the season exactly tied for 9th place. Same number of wins, ties and losses. AND the same number of goals scored as Cape. So a three way conference call between coaches and a neutral party took place. A coin toss and the prelims got played in Cape on Saturday. Lakers won. Unfortunately the next game, the quarterfinals were to be against #1 Leavitt. Leavitt is always #1. They always win and always eliminate us. The game was last night. I couldn't go, ERRRR. My sister and mother went though. I wasn't thinking much about it while making supper, but then I started getting texts. I don't text. I can't stand to abbreviate and it's just weird. The first text said, 1-0 us. I text(ed?) back Whoa. Then immediately, 2-0 us ( and some minutes left, can't remember). I text, Holy Sh*t. This just doesn't happen against Leavitt. Then, injury waiting for ambulance. I hate injuries especially if an ambulance has to come. I text who. I get a text that says a girl on our team and that this will break our momentum. Yup, we tend to have that problem. The injury was at the end of the first half, two minutes left. Second half, 2-1, they are outplaying us. I text, shoooot. Then I receive several with time left. That was nerve racking!! Then, we're holding our own. Then We did it!!!!. I text, I just can't believe it. And I still (almost) can't. #9 upsets #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Leavitt coach used to be my coach a long time ago. She left as a jv coach to take the varsity coaching position there.
During the regular season L started quite a few games and played almost all of a lot of the games, but the two play-off games she's hardly played at all. We're a little disappointed........... Don't know where or when the next game is but I've decided texting has it's place!!
