Silly Poem

A bright day in the middle of the night,
two dead men got up to fight

Back to back they faced each other,
drew out their swords and shot each other

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
got up, and shot those two dead boys

If you don't believe this lie is true,
ask the blind man...
He saw it too.

'06 Intertown Spring Tournament

Last Saturday (June 17th), the Clash played in the Intertown Spring Tournament. The way it worked was that every team that participated was garented to play at least 2 games. If you won both of the games, then you went on to play in the championship game. If you won that game, than your team was the champ!!
Weeeelllllll......the first game that we played was at 8:30am on Saturday. We had to play our own town (how crazy is that??!!). Well, there wasn't anything terribly exciting about that game. The score was 7-0, and we won. And I forgot to mention that we only had one sub for this game,and then she left, so we didn't have any subs for the next games (keep this in mind). One down, one more to go (then again, maybe two more to go...who knows??!).
The second game that we played was at 10:30pm. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that we were playing 20 minute halfs, because it was a tournament, and that it was terribly hot out. But anyways, we played against T (they had won their first game, too). It was the hardest game of the season (on my opinion). The T team was very physical. And I mean VERY. They were pushing and shoving and pulling, etc. And the strange thing was that the referee just watched it all and didn't do anything about it (the ref looked like he was about 15-17 years old. And he wasn't calling anything, except for when the ball went out of bounds.)!! Shelby got hurt, and had to get pulled out of the game, so, it was 7 on 8 for a little while. Dad had to pull Shelby out for a few minutes later in the game because she was going to get hurt or hurt someone else the was that the other team was playing. Another one of the girls on our team, Katy, was so upset at the way that the other team was playing that she almost cryed quite a few times. It was a hard game not only because of the other team's attitude and the referee, but also because it was such a tiny field. The goals were about 5 feet tall at most. I'm saying that they were tiny! Anyways, our first goal was off of a corner kick. I don't remember who scored it, but it was quite early in the game, and it was great!! The corner kick was kicked, and somehow it got to one of players who was in front of the goal, and they kicked it on the ground right past the goalie!! We were all totally excited!! It was great!! Ashlee got the second goal. She kicked it high, and it sloped right over the goalie's head and into the goal!! It looked awesome!! T scored in the second half, but we kept the off to win 2-1!! I also forgot to mention that the all of the teams that we played had more than double the amount of players that were on the field. In other words, they had a lot more players that we did. So now, we had won the first two games, and now...drum roll please...we were going on to the championship game!!!
For the championship game, we had to wait for the last U-13 girls game to finish, so that we could figure out who was playing, and then we had to wait even longer to wait for a field to open up. We finally ended up playing C 1 (if you have been keeping up with my other posts about our games, you will remember that we already played them twice in the regular season). It was an interesting game, not as physical as the first game, but not as easy as the first game. As you will most likely remember, be tied with them the first time that we played them, and then be beat them the second time that we played them. Well, at the end of the second half, we were leading 2-0 (I got a goal in the first half. I had played Center Defense for the first two games, and for the first half of this game I played midfield, and for the second half of this game, I played Center Defense again.). For the second half, both of us scored a goal. They scored the goal on Dani (the T team scored on Ashlee. Both of the goals hit the post and then went in, so they (Ashlee and Dani) didn't have too great of a chance of blocking them.). So yea, we won 3-1!!! GO CLASH!! We were the 2006 Intertown Spring tournament U-13 Girls Champions!! I think that we all had a great time, even though we were all tired an sweaty by the end of the game!! Here is a picture of the tournament Champs team-Well, that's the end of the Spring soccer season for the undefeated Clash!! Our record was 8-0-2!! Next season, most of the players (including me) will be moving up to a U-14 (under 14) travel team, so stay tuned!! 'Till next season, now and always, GO CLASH!!!P.S.

Still The Cross

Here is an awesome song, it's sung by FFH.

Still The Cross
by Jeromy Deibler, Scott Williamson, Donna Smith

Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us
We fear it all may one day come undone
We can't forget the One who came before us
To forgive the past and bring hope for what's to come

When it all comes crashing down
The cross still stands alone
On this our faith is built
And our courage is made strong

When the world falls apart
And you fear for your heart
There's a tower of peace
It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor
And your longing for more
To the place of relief
It's still the cross
There is hope for the lost
It's still the cross

Sometimes it feels that I have been forgotten
I don't know how I will make it on my own
But the One who said I will never be forsaken
He still hears my prayer and I will never be alone

When it all comes crashing down
The cross still stands alone
and on this our faith is built
And our courage is made strong

When the world falls apart
And you fear for your heart
There's a tower of peace
It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor
And your longing for more
To the place of relief
It's still the cross
There is hope for the lost
It's still the cross

Though the world may not confess
You and Your holiness
One day all will see
You in all your majesty
And the cross still stands alone
As the place where You made known
Your love for all mankind
Till then in it we'll hide

When the world falls apart
And you fear for your heart
There's a tower of peace
It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor
And your longing for more
To the place of relief
It's still the cross
There is hope for the lost
It's still the cross

Clash vs. C 1

Today the mighty, mighty Clash played against C 1 again, but this time, it was at their field. It was raining, and it was cold!! We won!! YEA!!! The score was 6-4!! The Clash is STILL undefeated!! Oh yeah!! Johanna scored 3 goals (Go Johanna!!), Becky scored 2 goals (Go Becky!!), and I scored 1 goal!! It was kind of a strange game. We score the first goal, then they got a goal, then they got another goal, and then Becky helped them by getting a goal on us on a corner kick!! It was kind of strange!! Then I got a goal. I played center defence for the whole game. I was a couple of yards over the center line. We had a corner kick, and some how, the ball got kicked out to me. I kick it at the goal, and it some how got in!! I think that it went into the top right corner. The other goalie kind of hit it in. I was very surprized!! Well, after that, Johanna and Becky got their goals, and we won!! YEA!! Anyways, the Clash is still undefeated!! GO CLASH!!!!!!!

Last Sadurday, the mighty, mighty Clash played against C 1. We tied 2-2!! I got the first goal!! Pooja got the second goal!! We were so close to winning!!

Rainy Days Are Good Story Telling Days

Today, it is raining. The rain started to fall on Sunday, and has continued to fall to this day. Of course, the rain see it fit to come and inhabit our basement, so now our basement is flooded. Isn't that nice??!! We have been vacuuming our basement since Sunday morning, and my Mom had to stay home from church to vacuum the basement!! Is that crazy or what??!! Well, as most of you know, rainy days are good story telling days (as the title of this post suggests), so I will tell you all the stories of how I broke my bones.
The first bone that I broke in my lifetime was my right Radius bone (in my arm). For all you people who have no idea what bone that is, look at the picture ->. Anyway, this is how I broke it. We were at our friend's house a few winters ago. Our friends also happen to have a dog, his name is Cody. Wwwweeeellll...our friends had a big pile of snow in their front yard, and we were having fun running up and down the pile. One time, when I decided to run down the pile, Cody decided to run across the pile, right in front of me!! Well, when I was running down, Cody ran right in front of me, and I tripped over him and I landed on my arm, which landed on a garden border thing that was on the side of the sidewalk. Now, you must understand that Cody is not a small dog, but he is a Golden Retriever. Anyway, my arm really hurt, and after that I didn't run down the snow pile anymore. My Mom didn't think that it was broken, but we went to the ER later that night, and we found out that it was broken. I got to wear a purple cast for the next 6 weeks. It was not really fun, because I had to miss the Awana Games. Cody even signed my cast!! Well, that was the first bone I broke...
The second and third bones I broke were two of my toes. If you thought that how I broke my arm was weird, this is even weirder. Two summers after I broke my arm, my family and I went to my cousin's house in NY, because my cousins Caleb and Jessica, were visiting from Africa. While we were visiting, all the boys slept in the tree house, and all the girls slept in the play house. One day when we were playing, the girls were trying to take over the tree house, and the boys were trying to take over the play house. The girls finally got inside the tree house, but the boys were guarding the door, so that we couldn't get out. Caleb was guarding the door, and I wanted to get out, so, dumb me, I kicked the back of his lower leg. My two toes (the ones right after my big toe on my right foot) started to hurt really bad. When we got out, we went back to the play house and I told my cousin Jessica that I thought I had broken my toes. My toes turned 5 shades of purple. I have to admit, they looked pretty cool, but they hurt like crazy!! We wrapped the two toes together, so they wouldn't get any more damage. Now, my toes look strange, because they were wrapped together. They are kind of crooked. Once Caleb asked me what happened to my toes, and I told him that I had broken them by kicking his leg. He said that he hadn't felt anything!! Well, I had to wrap them through the camp session that year, but other than that, I don't think there was anything else major that I couldn't do because of them. *Note* We never went to the doctor's to get my toes checked out! oopps!!
The fourth, and final bone that I've broken so far, was my pinky finger. Although the picture is of the right hand, and I broke my left pinky finger, you can get the general idea from the picture ->. While playing soccer, last spring, I was fighting (you know what I mean) with a girl from the other team for the ball. Somehow, I tripped (I think the girl tripped me, but it could have been anything), and fell on my left hand. My hand started to swell, and I had a bump on both sides on my hand (on the pinky side). My coach took me out of the game, and had me ice my hand, but after I had iced it for a while, he put me back in, and I played for the rest of the game. One of the people at my church is a doctor, so we had him look at it the next day (which was Sunday), and he said there was probably nothing to worry about. One of our friends is a radioligist, and she looked at my hand, and then took me into the hospital to have my hand X-Rayed. She said that if there was nothing wrong with my hand, that I could keep the X-Ray. Unfortunatly, there was something wrong, so I couldn't keep the X-Ray. I broke the (pinky) metacarpal bone really close to the joint. The doctor was concerned that there had been damage done to the joint, so I almost had to have a surgury to put something into my hand so that nothing bad would happen. Anyway, I didn't have to have a surgury, but I had to get a cast. I got a white cast, and people signed it in colored markers. It looked really cool!! But...I couldn't play for most of the rest of the season. I got to play the last two games, the second to last one, we put some sort of soft thing around my cast, and I was able to play. For the last game, I had a splint, so we wrapped the splint in an ACE Bandage, and I was able to play that game. Well, I'm glad that there was nothing really wrong with my hand!!
Well, that's the end of story time today!! I hope that you enjoyed reading my story!!

Fine!!

Erika says that she doesn't want to write a post for my blog!! She is cucu!! She is also crazy!! LOL!! She is just laughing!! I don't know why!!

Clash vs. Rockets (AGAIN!)

Today we had to play against the Rockets again!! We tied 1-1. It was not the best game our team has ever played. We were not playing very well. We were bunching, we were letting the other team get the ball, and we weren't charging the goal. The referee wasn't very good. On the goal the Rockets got, the girl was off-sides, but the ref didn't call it. Becky got the only goal!! Go Becky!! She was (if you are facing the opposing team's goal) on the right side of the goal, about a yard away from the end line. She kicked the ball at the goal, and the ball went in between the keeper and the goal post!! YEA!! Well, still cheer for the Clash!! We are still undefeated!! GO CLASH!!!!

Sabre's Final Score

The Sabres won!! YEA!!! The score was 3-0, just in case you didn't get that!! Anyways, sorry I didn't post at the end of the game, we had to eat dinner, then we had to go to our friend's house. GO SABRES!!!!
