Going to TOC!

Rebekah's soccer team has made 1st place in her age group as of last night. This means that they will be competing in the North Texas Tournament of Champions in December!! They have one more game this year, on Nov 23....they will be playing a U-19 team.

Here are some shots from the game last night. Rebekah's team (the Chivas) beat the Shock with a score of 1-0. What a great game!
The tensions were high going into the game....the girls knew if they won this one, they would be going on to TOC. Here's part of their pre-game warm-up.
They stretch, they huddle, coach talks to them, then they say a quick pre-game prayer...
And they're ready!!
Rebekah usually plays defense, but last night the coach put her on offense during the first half of the game. Too bad this shot on goal didn't make it.....the goal keep on the other team did an excellent job, even though our girls had many many shots...only 1 got through.Rebekah is #21. This was the first time this season she has played offense...she did a great job, even though she likes defense better.It was starting to get dark, so it is hard to see this picture...but Rebekah started really getting into offense and plowed over one of her team mates and a girl from the other team! Playing against her older brothers has made this girl tough.

After the game, the coach gave a speech and handed out trophies. The girls had a great season, and they are all thrilled to be going to the state champs!She sure loves this game!!
