Yesterday, in the wind and braving the cold Winnemucca day of 50 degrees.......Jairs' soccer team played in the 20th annual Winnemucca Regional U12 tournament. As her father (with my totally un-bias opinion)....SHE DID AWESOME!!!!!!
They played a round robin portion where they had three games. They lost the first but killed the other teams in the next two and went into the elimination round as the second place team....which qualified them for the championship match. The team they played for the championship had not lost a game all year and her team had lost to them earlier in the year. It was a good match. The other team went up 1 to nothing inside 10 minutes, but Jaris' team came back less than 10 minutes later. After half time, the other team scored again, but then had a hand ball called on them in the penalty box in the closing minutes of the game and Jaris' team tied it up on the penalty kick. Then, with just minutes left in the game, Jaris' team put in the winning goal and won the championship 3 to 2!!!
This qualifies them to play in the regional game in Northern California in December!!!! Jaris played so well at both goal keeper and mid-fielder. Here are a few pictures of the celebration and the trophy!!! Way to go Jaris!!!!
