Emma's 2nd Game of the Bracket

The BLITZ have had an amazing season.

The girls have really fought hard for their

wins and had 1 loss and 1 tie.

The parents rewarded the girls with

new hoodies with their team name

and number on them!

Emma takes a deep breath before the game starts!

Team Cheer:

"B-L-I-T-Z GOOOOO BLITZ!!!

Time for kick-off!

Emma throws in the ball.

At half-time the other team had 2 goals and we had zero!

The girls were shocked!

We normally beat this team...by A LOT!!

Emma seemed a little scatter-brained the first half.

We chatted during half-time about how her

team would NOT be playing in the championship

if she didn't get her head in the game and

score some goals.

Emma made me so proud for the last half

of the game.

She really turned it on and gave it her all.

Her friend Caley made one goal.

To bring us down by 1.

Then Coach Larry had a great idea.

Bring all the girls up on offense

and leave the goalie at 1/2 field.

It was a gutsy move.

The parents were anxious.

None of us could sit down.

We were all pacing the field.

We were so distracted Larry and I forgot

that we were supposed to get Ben

to his game!!

Each girl stayed strong and followed

every kick to the goal,

no matter what!

At the last seconds of the game,

Emma came through and finally got a goal

to tie the game!

It was a heart stopper!

Parents were screaming and jumping for joy.

You would have thought we won the lottery!!!

It was at this point when we were told we

were going into a 5 minute overtime

that I remembered about Ben's team

and raced over to his game.

Missing the action of Emma's game.

During those 5 minutes of overtime

Emma came through again!

And scored another goal.

Too bad for the other team,

who probably thought they had the game!

We were on to the championship game later

on that evening!!!
