dixon

      We start the game out like, ‘’ we got this’’ and ‘’this will be easy,’’ but little did we know we were up for a challenge. We were at Dixon high school, a place we have never won before. We thought we had it made out for us; we had already beat them this season 4 to nothing in a tournament.
      The game was starting and we weren’t playing how we normally do, we were slow and we dribbled too much. We didn’t score till the last 5 minutes and that cost us. One of our best players had broken his collar bone, everyone was devastated. After hearing this we got angry, so 10 minutes into the second half we got a penalty kick called on us and our goalie got a yellow card that turned into a red for arguing.  Now to add on to our bad luck we could only play with 10 players for the rest of the game. We were doing it for Carlos (who broke his collar bone), we were made but wanted to plat a clean game. With only 6 minutes left in the game we scored! It was one of the best feelings in the world; all we had to do was hold them off. That’s just what we did we won the game for
Carlos and victory was ours and we kept our undefeated record for conference.

loaded

    Rainy, dry, sunny, dark, i have played in it all. Already being a hard and skillful sport some of these thing make it even harder and more skillful. That's just what i did, well me and my team; we played three games in three days. The first game we played Princeton, we were tired before we even got there, we had already played four games in a tournament the previous weekend, but against the odds we expected to win. The J.V. lost there game and by the end of there game they were playing in the rain. If you haven't already figured it out yet our first game of the week was going to be in the pouring down rain. And on top of the rain, our goaly and two other key players couldn't play because they had gotten in trouble. First half we were down 4 to 1, but second half we came back, but not enough, we lost that game 4 to 5. The very next day we played a home game against rock island, if you don't know this team is a very dirty playing team. Again after the J.V. lost we played but this time it was in the dark with some surrounding lights. They tried and tried to hurt us but they just ended up hurting themselves, one kid got a concussion and had a seizure another almost broke his ankle. We won that game 2 to1. Once again the very next day we had an away game in Rochelle. But this time the J.V. and the varsity played right next to each other at the same time in the daylight.This was a pretty clean game although the other team got a couple yellow cards. We actually won this game 3 to 1, the J.V. lost again. So this past week was one of the most loaded weeks full of fun and exciting soccer games!
