State Cup Update

Anna's soccer team, Banat '96 Gold, is in the middle of the state cup championships. They have won both of their games so far, but just barely. (2-0 and 1-0) Anna's team won the state league so they had top seed going into the tournament. The two teams they played were lower division teams and by all rights should have been easy wins, but nothing about this championship has been easy. The teams they faced came to play and they made it tough for our girls. Add that to the fact that Anna's team looked a little flat and it made for some very stressful afternoons. They are down to 8 teams right now and will face Nike Rush on Saturday. Nike Rush is a lot tougher than the first teams and we are all hoping that the girls step it up. (It is a double elimination tournament.) The biggest competition will be Sereno White who they would face in the next round. They have never beaten Sereno and what an upset it will be if they do. If the girls finish state cup in 1st or 2nd place then they will play Regionals in NM in June. Cross your fingers!!!!

Kayla's team got eliminated after 2 games. Bummer! She has left her current team, the Stars, and will be joining the Banat 98 team who is still in the running for state champions. They finished third last year.
