Weekly Sports Report

I had a crazy crazy week at work... It was a 50 hour week, but I still made time to get to Cheryl's game. This may be the only game I see this season. Uhmmm... they lost... Nothing new there... BUT I got some photos of Cheryl playing! She was playing striker again and took some shots on goal. The keeper on the other team stopped them all this time. Poor Cheryl, with sore feet, a pulled hamstring and hip flexor, she's just managing to limp through the rest of the season. No rest for Cheryl... she plays the whole game. Two more games this week and the season is OVER! Cheryl is very happy! After she takes some time to heal, she said that she will start running with Chris and me.

The last Cross Country meet of the season (for non-Varsity) and Chris is sick. At least his fever was gone, but he was still very congested. Poor guy... he really wanted to PR at his last race. It didn't happen. I think he fell to 8th. The good news is that CAPO is going to CIF for the second year in a row, YAHOO!!!







Coach Cheryl was under pressure this weekend! She was tasked to not break the Quakes undefeated streak while Coach Monica is recovering from knee surgery. And she did it!!! The Quakes win 1-0 on a PK! It sounds like it was an exciting game.

Galaxy went into their second playoff game against Chivas, tied on aggregate! We got tickets, because it was a game NOT to MISS!!! Here's the funny part... we got tickets through Chivas because they cost less than the exact same tickets through Galaxy. We sat between the two Chivas cheering squads. I wish I had my camera... we were given confetti and streamers... they were beating HUGE drums and chanting, waving flags and banners... BIG TIME PARTY!!! Things got rowdy when a couple of guys set off a smoke bomb. The Security people were chasing them through the stands, cornered them under the drum, and hauled them away. Oh, and the game! Very exciting! Galaxy won on a PK (just like Cheryl's Quakes) and are advancing to the semi-finals against Houston!
