Soccer Playoffs

Alexis and Eliana participated in AYSO U15 soccer playoffs today. Olivia spent the night with her Memaw last night and came back to her daddy before the older 2 and I made it back home.

We left at 6am and had a 2.5 hour drive to the playoff area. The girls and their team played a total of 4 games. Including their team, there were 5 teams in their age level; two of those teams were from our town. The girls' team had the following record:

1st game loss 3-1
2nd game win 3-0
3rd game win 3-1
4th game win 2-1 (this was against our other hometown team)

There was a scoring system based on whether the team won/loss/tied, how many goals over the other team, and whether or not it was a shut-out game. After all the scoring was done, the girls's team placed 2nd and the other hometown team placed 3rd.

The day itself was a bit chilly and misty/rainy, but the girls had a blast. They really enjoyed themselves. In fact, Alexis enjoyed herself enough that she is considering doing soccer again in the spring and she's not a sports person. LOL.

Our hometown also had 2 U11 teams play. Their age level had a total of 6 teams. Our teams took 1st and 3rd places. =)

We got back home around 8pm and were totally exhausted!
