WHAT THE RAIDERS NEEDED ALL ALONG

 GOOD LUCK CHARMS

AND HERE THEY ARE!

IT TOOK ROXANNE AND OLIVIA BEING AT THE GAME TO BREAK THE TEAMS YEAR LONG LOSING STREAK.

NOW IF THEY COULD JUST THINK OF A WAY TO GET PAPA

TO BUY THEM SEASON TICKETS!!!

GO RAIDER FANS

TODAY'S YOUR DAY TO CELEBRATE.

IT'S HALFTIME

 AND ONLY REAL FANS

SIT IN THE POURING RAIN TO WATCH THEIR RAIDERS,
AHEAD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN I DON'T KNOW WHEN.

PAPA'S THERE TOO SO HE MUST BE TAKING THE PICTURE,
EITHER THAT OR HE MELTED :)
GO RAIDERS!

IT MAY HAVE BEEN RAINING

 BUT SYDNEY AND THE LADY KNIGHTS

WERE ON

THE FIRST QUARTER, NO MATTER HOW HARD OUR GIRLS PLAYED, THE OPPOSING TEAM SCORED FOUR POINTS.   OUR COACH CALLED A TIME OUT, AND WHATEVER HE SAID SURE DID THE TRICK.

THEY GOT THE BALL AND SCORED, AND SCORED! 

BY HALF TIME THEY WERE AHEAD 

AND STAYED THAT WAY THE REST OF THE GAME. 

SYDNEY HAD CONTROL OF THE BALL OFTEN,

MAKING ONE OF THE EIGHT POINTS SCORED. 

(we were considered home)

WAY TO GO LADY KNIGHTS!ONE TO GO,
AND YOU'LL BE THE CENTRAL COAST CHAMPS.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!

WINTER SPORTS ARE STARTING

 THIS ONE COMES WITH THE SQUEAKY SHOES

SAM HAD HIS BASKETBALL JAMBOREE TONIGHT
WITH A SCRIMMAGE OR TWO TO GET READY FOR THE SEASON.

HE MIGHT BE BIGGER THAN YOU SAM,

BUT YOU SURE OUT JUMPED HIM.

HEY, SAM'S OPEN OVER HERE!

WATCH OUT HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

IT'S YOUR BALL SAM.

GET THAT REBOUND!
I CAN TELL IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT SEASON!!!

CHAMPIONS

 IN OUR EYES ANYWAY.

ROXY'S TEAM LOST THIS FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
TODAY,BY JUST ONE POINT, IN OVERTIME.

MY PHOTOS ARE A LITTLE BLURRY BECAUSE OUR #88 WAS UP AND DOWN THE FIELD LIKE LIGHTENING..

SHE WAS WELL DESERVING OF THE MEDAL
SHE RECEIVED, WITH THE COACH'S PRAISE.

GREAT JOB ROXY
YOU'RE A CHAMPION WITH US EVERY DAY!!!

CCS WATER POLO FINALS

 AND THAT'S WHERE YOU COULD FIND SYDNEY,

 AND US CHEERING  SPECTATORS LAST NIGHT.

SHOULDN'T SHE HAVE THE NUMBER 4 ON HER CAP :)

THEY WERE OUT TO GET HER ,

BUT SHE DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF GETTING THEM TOO! 

SHE HAD POSSESSION OF THE BALL

AND SHE WASN'T LETTING ANYONE TAKE IT AWAY!
SYDNEY IS NOT SHY WHEN IT COMES TO WATER POLO!!!

LOOKS LIKE THIS GIRL IS READY TO RECEIVE THE BALL,
AND HELP OUT WITH THIS BIG WIN. 

WITH A SCORE LIKE THIS
(AND SYDNEY PLAYING)
HOW COULD WE NOT WANT TO BE THERE CHEERING ON
THE GREAT LADY KNIGHTS.

ALL STARS UNDER THE LIGHTS

 THE SPECTATORS WERE THERE, ALL BUNDLED UP FOR THE COLD

SOPHIA, WEARING GREEN,  AS A DEFENDER WAS ALL OVER THE FIELD

KEEPING THE BALL AWAY FROM THE OTHER TEAM.

SECOND HALF SHE WAS GOALIE

PROTECTING THE GOAL

KICKING THE BALL

AND CATCHING THE BALL

OVER

AND OVER
TO KEEP THE OTHER TEAM FROM SCORING.

A BIT OF TRIVIA!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS PINK TOP SHE'S WEARING, AS GOALIE, IS CALLED?
I JUST LEARNED TONIGHT, IT'S CALLED A PENNY.

THESE TEAMMATES,
WEARING THEIR ALL STAR MEDALS,
MAY HAVE LOST THE GAME WITH A SCORE OF 4 TO 2,
BUT THEY'VE GAINED FRIENDSHIPS
THROUGH THIS SOCCER SEASON
THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME.

A LATE DINNER WITH THE FAMILY.

 WHAT'S THIS,

A VOLLEYBALL?

DON'T WORRY, SHE'S NOT GIVING  UP HER SOCCER, DAD JUST WON IT FOR HER IN THE ARCADE.  BETTER KEEP THAT AWAY FROM BASIL, SOPH, SHE JUST MAY THINK IT'S A FUN BALL TO POP.
