St. George Soccer Tournament 2008


We had a lot of fun in St. George over Thanksgiving break. One of the highlights was watching Megyn play in a tournament. Her team did very well they received the silver medal for their effort. Megyn has been playing defense for this season but for the tournament she was played as a mid fielder. She is great in any position but she likes to be up with the action more. In our last game of the tournament we were playing for second place and the score was 0 to 0. With about 1 minute left in the game our team went for the goal the goalie blocked the shot it came back to Megyn at mid field she ran up to the ball and kicked it up in the air as we all watch it head for the goal we were all willing it to go in. There was only about a foot between the goalie and the goal post and by golly the ball dropped down into the goal. It was the most exhilarating moments for a parent and for the team.It is hard to describe the emotions of such a moment. Did we capture it on camera NO but we will never forget.Megyn has never acknowledged a goal in the past but after this one her arm flew up and the whole team was jumping on top of her the coach ran on the field and gave her a big hug it was totally awesome!!!!!!! Moments like that is why we appreciate all the hard work she puts in her practices. It may never happen again but we will never forget!!!
