A blog for family and friends who don't see us on a regular basis to keep up with Christopher's and Shanice's achievements,athletics, activities, and memories.
The girls played the best softball I have seen them play. However, they still came 1 run short and the Championship went to Falcon. Coming in 2nd in our league is something the girls can still be proud of. GO TROJANS!
Shanice has been practicing with a competitive fastpitch team called "Diablas" on Sundays for the last few weeks. She is really enjoying the challenge and will probably join them for the 2009 season.
The Trojans upset the Widefield Gladiators with a 49(!) to 6 win. Chris had to watch from the sideline, since his MRI confirmed a meniscus tear. Next week he'll see an Orthopedist to discuss the surgery (which he'll probably have after football season). Once the swelling and fluids in his knee are down, he should be able to play again next week with an knee brace.
The trip to Denver was well worth it, as the girls came away with a 1:1 tie against the #2 ranked team in the league (our team is ranked #4). Shanice had an outstanding game, saving many, many goals. Go #10!
Not only did the Trojans loose the game (17:0), but Chris and Eric (#70) both sustained knee injuries. Chris went to the ER but luckily the x-ray was negative for a fracture or displacement. The exam suggested a Meniscus injury and a MRI got ordered for next week. In the meantime he has to wear a "knee immobilizer" and walk on crutches. He is so frustrated. Especially, since it was an illegal hit that was not called by the refs (he was engaged in an tackle with a lineman, when a 2nd player took him out with a hit to the side of his knee...it's a shame!).
