Strikers Cup + Shootout = MVP

Morgan's soccer team played in the Striker's Cup this week. They were 4-0, and played for the championship game today. They played really well. Morgan plays goalie the 2nd half of each game, and she did awesome! It came down to a tie, and after 2 five minute overtimes, it went to a shootout, with Morgan as the goalie! Wow, that makes the mom very nervous. She did awesome, and played well, she made the goal she shot in the shootout, but we missed 2 of our other shots, and we lost. She was voted MVP by the other coach and received a game ball, which all of her team-mates signed! She is really improving, and is not afraid to charge the players, and she has the marks to show it! We are very proud of her! Way to go Firecrackers!! She says the silver medal is prettier than the gold anyway!
