Winners!



Sorry, but I have to brag here for a minute -- my daughter's soccer team finished the season yesterday with a 22 and one record!



This is what a winning team looks like at season's end -- 23 goofy girls who came together to post five preseason wins; 15 wins, no losses in regular season play; and two wins, one loss in tournament play. My daughter, Katie, is a goalkeeper. (First row, fourth from the right, in the team picture.)




We've known many of these girls since they were little; Katie has played on travel teams with them. They've grown up before our eyes, into wonderful young ladies -- strong and confident. To see them come together here and have such a tremendous season is so sweet. It doesn't get any better than this.






Congratulations, Ridge High Junior Varsity Girl's Soccer!

    Wow...that's quite an impressive record. Congratulations Katie. Goalie is a hard position. I remember when my boys were little things and first started playing soccer. We called it BumbleBee soccer and it was so much fun to watch.

    Congrats to the Girls!!!

    I used to coach soccer many, many years ago for my son's soccer team. It was so much fun. Do they still do the oranges quartered at half-time for a snack?
    I loved those oranges.
