Champions!

This weekend 9 girls and one coach would travel to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to compete in Regional Flag-Football Tournament. Friday afternoon we loaded up the cars and headed there looking only to bring home the hardware! Two months ago we sat in a classroom and talked about this tournament and had a few girls drop and then spent many nights practicing. Over those two months a special team was created and one that would do whatever it took to win it all. Playing in 27 degree weather Saturday and layered up all day. 
We would manage bumps, bruises, black eyes, concussions, but we wanted it all that bad. And with that much want, we bought it all home! Going undefeated and only giving up 19 points, we won Regionals! It was a great feeling and one that has yet to wear off from any of us. So now we get to move on to Nationals Jan.2-3, in Pensacola! The funny thing is that 7 out of 9 girls are from Florida with 4 of us from the Milton/Pace area. So its going to be home turf for us. It was certainly one weekend of laughter, sweat, coldness, and sweet victory. The best part is that it is not over yet! Im blessed to have been chosen for this team and to have the ability and health to play this game that I love and not have any serious injuries from it so far. "Offense wins games, while Defense wins Championships!"








You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again!
