The 2009 World Cup…

Or it might as well have been.  Our regional girls’ soccer tournament has now come and gone and the girls are still talking about it.  In my eyes it was a mediocre event filled with lots of laughs and lots of stress, but in the girls’ eyes it was the 2009 world cup.  And they were the participants.  They were the winners.  They were the stars.

Five teams in all participated in our 4th annual regional tournament, and only one team walked away with soccer bragging rights.  Unfortunately it wasn’t my team.  However we did win the song/skit portion of the tournament that revolved around an AIDS awareness theme.  Each team presented a skit or song and was judged by local Peer Educators (high school students from the regional capitol) who teach other students about AIDS prevention.  My team blew away the competition winning with 24 out of the possible 25 points.  They also preformed an extra song about girls education and the importance of giving girls the opportunity to receive an education (I’ll try to YouTube this asap because they are actually really good).  I’ve included some pictures from the day’s events!  Enjoy :)
