We left for Georgetown immediately after school on Thursday and drove straight there. I drove my car so we could have transportation while there (really, so I could go shopping while they were doing soccer stuff, hehe) but Matt had to ride the bus with the team. I tried to follow the bus but we ended up taking separate routes. Once we arrived and checked into our hotel we went over to the stadium at Georgetown ISD to watch some of the 4A games that were going on. I've seen some high school football stadiums in my life and Georgetown has to rank up there in the top 10. Check out the size of that press box!
Friday the boys got up and hung around the hotel and I hit up the outlet mall in Round Rock! So fun! That afternoon we headed over to the stadium and at 4pm lined up to play Plano High School. Plano had to beat the number 1 team in the country to get to the tournament.
It was a slow first half and we went into halftime (do they still call it "halftime" in soccer?) down 1-0. Plano was really good; their defense was stout and we were defending our goal most of the half.
The second half was really exciting as we got close to scoring several times. The game ended with us losing 3-0, but it was a hard fought battle. The guys did so well and most of the team is returning next year. Hopefully we can make the trip again next April!
Since we were in Georgetown all weekend we missed out on the Easter festivities in Louisiana. :( We were really bummed not to be able to see everyone, but state tournaments don't come every year! Sorry we missed it and we hope to see everyone soon!
