Should have been a tie

Soccer game tonight. Pretty good game considering we played the number one team in our district. I got a nice bruise from it. Right on my hip and I didn't save the goal either, but it was worth it. I almost have it. Overall I think I played pretty well though. There were no really hard shots, but what I did get I did pretty well with. Even had a couple where I had to run out and dive at the ball causing the other team to have to jump over me. That made me happy.

I stayed and watched the varsity game (of course!) and was ball girl. I enjoyed it. Hearing what was going on by the bench and on the field. Is it bad that it also makes me very happy when I see K-Mart do something that I had done in goal recently? I don't know. It just makes me feel good because that means I must have been doing something right. I wish I was as good as her. She is a freakin' amazing goalie. She's just so good. Julia's song basically sums it up "Wind beneath my wings" with focus on
"It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be."

So I had to go find my own. I personally liked these few lines from "My hero is you"
"I believe there ain't nothing you can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you
  And I hope that you can see
You're everything that I wanna be"

The whole song may not fit as well, but those lines fit so perfectly. Enough of my ranting about how good K-Mart is...

The JV and Varsity game both followed the same pattern in the game. Goal in the far corner in the first 10 minutes. Holding there own for the first 15 or 20 and then letting down and the ball in the defensive end for about 20 minutes and then picking it up again at the end of the half. Second half pretty even between both teams. Then in the last 3 minutes pressing really hard and pretty much keeping it in the offensive penalty box. Both games should have been a tie.

My team was playing really well during the parts of the game where they were on. It made me so proud. We have come such a long way since the start of the season. Just one more game and hopefully we can pull out a win. And varsity will go on to districts and hopefully do well as they seem to be peaking at the right time.

Time to do homework. Gonna have some other late nights this week too.
