go for the goal


Last week Elise and Amy joined the girl's soccer team.
Or, if you believe Coach Mark (from Ireland) the FOOTBALL team.

They practiced a grand total of six hours before their first game this Saturday.

The game was scheduled for
7:30 am.

Decisions like that should be illegal.


the Knights warm up

They played against the toughest team in the league.
No, they didn't win, but they played strong.

half-time pep talk by Coach Micah
(Elise is standing on the right)

For a small school, 18 girls on the team is a pretty great turn-out!


Elise plays defense - she's the one facing forward



Amy on offense with the ball


"Football is all very well as a game for rough girls,
but is hardly suitable for delicate boys."
~Oscar Wilde

what have we done?!?
