It was a cold
chilly night, and the bright lights were shining down on us. My
teammates and I had nerves shaking through our spines. This could be
one of our games playing as a team, and when we warming up it was
silence. I could not believe that we had made it to the CIF
finals,and we were playing against a team who had beat us before. We
all could hear each others heartbeat, and we all were breathing hard
we wanted to win this game. AS soon as the whistle we attacked as a
team, and play for each other. The nerves slowly went away,and we all
got into our comfort zone. The ball was going back and fort, and long
beach had opportunities to score and so did we but each time somone
would save it. It was the 36 minute in the game my teammate Riley
Ridgit had this moment where she headed the ball from a cross . We
all jumped up and down that feeling of a little relief, but it was to
close to say who would win.. Half time came, and we were all tired
breathing hard so much that you could see the heat from our head.
Before the second half we came together, and said won or lose we are
a team, and I knew at the moment we deserved to win. A couple minutes
into the second half Riley got a pass from Miranda again and she
headed it in, and we all looked at each other maybe this could be our
game. After that it felt like the game was going to end. I looked at
the clock there was less than a minute away, and then 10 seconds
left. Five four three two one, and the whistle blew. We were CIF
champions everyone ran to each other hugging each other. All of us
were crying and happy this actually happened we worked so hard ,and
we deserved it. After that I knew this was probably one of the best
teams I would ever be on. I cannot describe to you how we all felt it
was just happiness,and we felt all our hard work was paid off. And
the rest is history.
