Soccer update

For those of you following the Soccer exploits... here is the latest from the Minnesota State Tournament (Blaine, MN).
Above you see one of the top three U12 C3 (under twelve, class three) teams in the State of Minnesota! Yes, that young lady on the far right is The Peanut with a championship smile. They made it to the Semi-finals and play the wildcard team this Wednesday. If they win, they play a championship game on Friday!
That's The Chalupa in the net. She's played well and only allowed one (controversial) goal this entire tournament. Unfortunately, they have one win and one loss which will require them to win their next match at by at least three goals and the other team can't score anything. That it the only way they have a shot at the wildcard slot in the final bracket. It will be tough.
And YES, we will make the commute on Wednesday up in the afternoon. Two matches (above), and return to IC. We can only hope for a return to championship games on the weekend. If not, it will go down as a week of soccer palooza extraordinaire! Stay tuned for an update to be posted on Wed. or Thurs.
