Almost nothing prepared us for how fabulous this night would be.

Marie and I headed up to the fields around 5PM so that we could get the seats we wanted.  Dad, Tab, and Nigel came much later, and Stewart was just a little after them.

Marie and I cheered our hearts out for the boys’ team, though they lost.

The girls game started around 8:00 P.M.  It was a wild game.  Marie played like a boss.  She was on fire.  The whole game was intense.  Marie had the ball hit her square in the face within minutes of the kick-off and she stated later she felt at that moment that she was ALL IN like never before.  She went after the ball like we’ve never seen her before.  When the game was finally over the scoreboard said we’d lost, but I am hear to attest that you’d never convince any of these girls that they were anything but winners tonight. 

The girls drew names to make posters to encourage one another.  Marie’s friend, Lauren, made this one for Marie.  It had light up, mini lights.  It was very cool.

I’m going to miss the fellowship with these families.  I’m so exceedingly grateful for our Scarlet Knights relationships.  We still have the banquet to look forward to.
