The Impertinent Daughter's team had their first game today. Yes, today, Sunday. That's what happens when you move up to U-14, and yes, you read that right, too. Miss Priss is playing U-14, because we did not have enough kids to make up separate U-13 and U-14 teams. And again, it's a co-ed team, but we're playing all male teams.

I wish y'all could have been there, really, truly, I do!

I wish I had videotaped it, because guys... it was really an awesome, sit on the edge of your seats, jumping up and screaming kind of game. My stomach muscles hurt from both holding my camera and yelling my head off!

First off, they won 4-2. Second off, as usual, the boys from the other team thought they could get ahead by scaring and or intimidating our girls, and they tried zeroing in on them. Yeah. Right. Like that's worked before when they've played us!! Look here!

That's my girl, in control of the ball. And the kid in the glasses really does think he's going to get the ball away from her.

She kicked it behind her, took it around again...

and when he tried to snag it from her, she booted it out to the side and passed it to a teammate, who took it to the goal, though he didn't manage to score. That time.

And I got this lucky shot of one of our forwards, with a guy from the other team. I might crop this shot later, but it was such a happy accident, both of them in the same position...
