... gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal ...

Unfortunately I didn’t study journalism in school and as such I cannot describe the first win by the Black Stars (there is actually history behind the choice of the team name) with as much color and emotion as a sports writer would say when Michael Jordan hit the game winning shot, when Peyton Manning obliterated defenses with a record number of touchdowns, … you get the picture. The moment was as epic as any other when the final buzzer sounded and the black stars prevailed 8-2. There was no confetti … I think we were robbed on that. Now that we finally have a win this would be a good time to share the results from the past couple of games we have played.

All games are held at the MVP arena on Friday nights. You should come out and check it out. Be sure to bring your pom-poms. Team spirit was well alive during this magical night, Tari on the sidelines doing the ESPN play by play announcements, Chris screaming “Go show off” all the way from the goalie and I believe that all goals were actually scored by the girls. Part of the feminist agenda “ … score all the goals in Coed soccer leagues”



Needless to say, the ambiance at the dinner table was fabulous. Applebees – we ate good in the neighborhood all the way till the restaurant closed. Quite the way to close out a winning night. Next up – The bullying of the Bench Warmers, December 15th @ 8:45. No feel good movie comeback by the benchwarmers this time around – just straight ballyragging!
