Not Just for Neighborhood Bragging Rights

We've made it to the semi-finals. My team, The Hammerheads, won Saturdays quarter final game against a team that we had tied previously. We won 3-2 and it was close... now, we play The Silver Bullets and they are really, really strong. We have to be better, I'm really trying to be positive and pray and hope and asking every one for positive thoughts and positive energy. So, any one reading, throw us some good luck... we really, really, really want this win. When we beat Silver Bullets, we will play later that day for the Championship. I've done it before, I can do it again! My team is outstanding and they have worked sooo hard for this, they deserve it. The four teams left are all a part of this neighborhood I live in. The kid 2 doors up (he has been a bully to Lukas for the last year and even before that when Luke used to visit Gramma... he really is a jerk and needs a good ass kickin' [his time will come, I'm sure] his mom is a real piece of work too, called Luke a bully the 2nd day we moved in and is REALLY competitive) his stepdad is the coach of Silver Bullets. There's the kid at the end of the street who's dad is the assistant coach of another team and a kid around the corner (also a little bit of a jerk) is on a fourth team that we won't play unless we lose (we won't...) or they win their 1st game. It sounds confusing but basically the whole neighborhood has something to lose or bragging rights if one of us wins (only one of us can be the champs...). It's sort of all on the line. My whole kid's reputation and chance to fight back without getting physical lies in these next 2 games. It's really cool and very stressful all at the same time. I have a championship team and they deserve the title. I want to show them how hard work and dedication does pay off, I want them to know that when you want something bad enough and it's a good thing and not dangerous or bad for you, you can get it. I've been eating, sleeping, and breathing soccer for the past 3 1/2 months and I want this so damn bad it's insane. This is a lot of the reason I haven't been on Twitter or blogging. We need your thoughts, please... Hopefully, my next post will be celebrating our victory and with the way my son has improved not only his skills on the field but his attitude, he deserves this reward. Send us good energy!!!
Thanks, writing soon, Coach Angie
