START SPREADIN THE NEWS!!!

We played our football game last night after the torrential storms last weekend..
and we are headed to New York City! for the Eastern Conference Championships next weekend against the New York Sharks!
YEAH BAYBEEEEEEE
We had changed venues to a Catholic High school and I'll tell ya I think St. Pius or the big man upstairs was looking out for us!
We HAD to get this game played this weekend.. no matter what..we watched as the storm sat off to the left of the school for about 10 minutes.. just hovering there lightning like I can't even tell you we were scrambling trying to find out if the game had to be called for lightning.. what would happen.. but the storm held off and literally as the teams were walking across the 50 yard line to shake hands after the game the skies just opened up and man did it rain! and the lgihtning and thunder came and it was INTENSE! Seriously.. my shorts and shirt are still wet..
It was unbelievable.
The other team scored first and they SO thought they had us beat.. I mean they REALLY thought they had it.. their coach was outta control their bench was on their feet and screaming..
But in the end we came out on top 26-12.. it was a great game.. and next week's game against the Sharks should be even better.. see the only reason that we have to go to new york is because we are both undeafeated teams.. but we gave up only 3 points more than they did cumulatively throughout the season the average for both teams was only 6 points.. so they have home field advantage.. but that should tell you what an insane game it's gonna be.. so if anyone up there in new york wants to see a great game and would like to support women's full tackle football come on down! they play their games at Monsignor Farrell High School in Staten Island.
Winner of this game goes to the National Championship in Manchester, NH.. Which is gonna be a haul for whichever team is coming from the west coast.... I'm counting on us getting their so that I can take a little break and continue on from NH to maine to visit the family..
So we spent a night celebrating.. but the storms were so awful.. it was a little scary driving over to our celebration point.. but that's ok cause it was all good once we were there.. it was a little lower key than I had expected.. everyone was exhausted from all the game and rain.. so keep your fingers crossed that we make it next weekend... (and hey they stream it on the web so even if you can't make it to the game you can listen to it on the net!)
So today is a low key day.. recuperating from a big night.. and preparing for the next!
