Can't win 'em all! Mermaids 3 -- Kickers 9 (10.13.07)

Well, even though the game was not a winning game, Mackenzi played her heart out. She scored 2 of the 3 goals that her team made on Saturday. She also is learning more and more how to keep the other team from scoring. When she is playing defense, and the other team is heading to the goal with the ball, Kenzi is learning to either get in front of them and try to kick the ball off to the side, or to just run alongside them and try to kick to ball away. Her team is really learning to be excited when they score a point. In the beginning of the season, one of them would score and the rest of the team wasn't sure how to be excited for their team as a whole. Here is a picture that Nana got of the girls giving each other a high five. I believe Olivia was able to get the ball in a position where Mackenzi could score this time! Nana was still in town and so we got a ton of pictures from the game! Usually I'm busy videotaping the game, and it's difficult to take digital pictures at the same time, so that's why the pictures come mostly from practices or Friday Night Lights. Daddy didn't get to make the game because he was still not feeling well, but he did call about halftime to check on how things were going! Nana was able to capture a picture of Mackenzi after she just kicked the ball in the goal and scored for her team!
