Off to STATE!

Rocky Mountain High School made it to the Girls Varsity State Championships! This is only their second year as a school and apparently last year their team was not good! What they needed was Cameron and now they're off to state!
Yesterday was the quarter final game and it was so exciting! They played Timberline and at the end of the game it was tied. They went into a ten minute over time - no one scored. They went into a second ten minute over time - no one scored! So they went to a penalty kick shoot off. They each got 5 shots on the other goalie and whoever got the best out of 5 goals would win. Rocky Mountain made their first 3 shots and Timberline made...zero! They won!!
Today was the semi-final game. They played Mountain View, who they lost to during the season. Mountain View scored first, then Rocky Mountain scored. Then....CAMI SCORED!! She scored with a header with what WOULD HAVE BEEN the winning goal! However, they called off sides! It caused an uproar in the stands and apparently was a very bad and incorrect call. There was a big problem with the refs making horrible calls throughout the game. So at the end of the game it was tied! They went into over time and.... no one scored! So they went into a second over time. At two minutes they stop the clock so that the girls don't know how long is left (so they don't try and run out the clock, etc.) so I'm not sure of the exact time, but with what couldn't have been more than a few seconds left in the second over time one of the other girls fouled one of our girls so she got a penalty kick! She made it!!! It sailed right over the goalies head and THEY WON!!! It was very exciting and two very nerve racking games!!!
Tomorrow is the State Championships so wish Cami luck! We will all be there cheering her on of course and I hope to update again with a Championship picture!
The girls as soon as they won:

Tonight Mom and Dad came out to our house to watch Paiton so that Matt and I could go on a date! I think this is only the 3rd time we have gone out without her since she was born! It was a lot of fun and Paiton was a good girl for Nana and Papa. We are always happy to get home to her though and get some snuggles!
