summer

its finally summer!!!!! until tuesday, i get to just relax, be lazy, run, and go to soccer practices. then, starting tuesday, i also have swim practices. oh joy!!! also on tuesday, farragut high school workouts/scrimmages/practices start for the summer. not sure when strength and conditioning for coach Pate start, or the possible Knoxville track and CC starts. but, at least i get a few days!

as for EFY, i am hopefully going the last week in june, which is a dead period. no promises, but tis worth a shot! tthe next two weeks after that would be oak island and then Girls camp.

road block

i finally passed a major block i was having, by a longshot. i could not run the 4 miles without stopping...not that i had really tried. i finally just did it, and it was not bad at all. if it hadnt been so dark, i would have done another mile, at least. i am very happy about this, because i had been getting kind of lazy about my running. now, i know that i am in good shape for "the run". better than numerous other fresheys i know that cant even run 1.5 miles. feeling pretty good about soccer, but i better get my shot back before tryouts!

choices

im probably not going to EFY..... again. i have soccer that week, and i am already missing 2 weeks of stuff for girls camp and oak island. 3 weeks is just too much to miss over one summer..... it could jepordize my chances of making the team. at the same time, i want to go really badly. of course, i can go next year, and even be in a group with a friend.... i have to decide what i am doing by thursday night and i only found out wednesday night! any advice?

EFY

i am going to EFY! its at BYU, and i leave on my b-day! for the family out west, mom is going to be asking you soon about me staying with you for 2 days afterwards... i would only miss a saturday work out or two... none on sunday! i am soooooo excited!!!!!!! see you all soon!

so sad....

today...well, yesterday... was our last practice with Allie Davis. shes moving to Alabama, leaving right after school on Thursday. it was kind of funny though, because all of her soccer clothes were packed. she came in jeans, a neon yellow shirt, and converse. hey, at least it wasnt skinny jeans! but any way, that is so her.... well, we will all miss her a ton, both on and off the feild. thankfully for the rest of the team, she will be going to the big elite tournament in June. she is gonna come up here, and it sounds like them and some other girls are all driving up. sadly, i will not be there. i see her on the bus, but after Thursday moning, its goodbye Davis! anyway, we will all miss her tons; its always hard to move, but she will do great!

bye davis, i love you!

the weekend

on friday, we had some interesting stuff happen. first, there was the random weapon shearch. then, we got lectured by the crying Mrs. Rehder for about an hour, counting the time we had to write apology letters, and then we headed off to feild day. i was going to run the mile, but since we were over an hour late to feild day, i missed it. so, we sat in the hot hot hot sun for 3 or 4 hours. after we all had hideous sunburns on the half of our bodies that were facing the sun, we strolled back to the middle school. we sat in homeroom for a little over an hour eating parfays and getting our homeroom-mates to sign our year books. then we headed outside to get the rest of the school to sign them to see some examples of what people said, go to "burn baby burn" at the blog http://www.sunshinemaniac.blogspot.com/



on saturday, connor and tanners team lost 5-2. hard loss. tanner, jakari, and brandon were all at the point of tears, or crying. that other team was nasty! poor brandon, they specifically called him names extremely loudly. hes a tough ked, he ignored it for a while, but hes only 8.....



we were going to go to Dustins game. it was Farragut against some little school they had beaten 4-0 in the regular season. in the tournament though, we won in overtime.



my game was played against jon greene's team, who we beat either 3 or 4 to 0. there is some controversy. we (i) didnt play a fantastic game, but some of it, like people missing shots of my assists, wasnt my fault. i just hope i get my shot back before May 27, the first FHS soccer scrimmage.



more detail about the game, Jordan had two great goals, an d Kit had a marvelous one. jordans came from her just dribbling around a few people and getting off a shot, or her getting it out of traffic and nailing it in the opposite corner. Kits came as a midfeilder. she was so far out, no one even realized it was a shot until it was in the goal. we all assumed it was a breakaway cross! also, i thought Abbey had a goal, off a cross by yours truely, but i cant really remember. i was in the zone. i have heard different stories on it.

soccer

hard loss today. we played Paredes team, which has maraya futcher, jordan butler, chealsey beifelt, sarah gaurd, and alyssa far. they had 13 players and played with 11, like normal. we had 9. we only lost 2-1, but we should have won. i had 2 crosses that could have been converted, as did others. i played terribly, missing at least 2, maybe 3 good shots. i did make our only goal of the game in the middle of the second half. Kendall Bard set me up with a beautiful lead through pass. i only had to beat 1 or two ladies and the keeper.

of course, i play badly when i play people i know! however, Jordan Butler did a great job for them in goal, and i was impressed with Maraya! that gurl can play when she gets down to it, and she hit me pretty good a few times, not at all like her! :-) on our side, Allie Davis rocked it for us! that gurl is amazing, stepping up for us like that! Jordan Keane was our stud defender with Kit gone, and Hannah stepped up as a mid. i played left forward the entire game. they were a physical team, and i think we are all gonna have a few bruises. they had a good win, but i cant help but think if we had Kit, Courtney, Kristen, and Lauren, or even just 2 guest players to give us 11..... it would have been different. Oh well!
