Snowball...Corinthians vs. Colorado Storm Blue

That's spring soccer in Colorado.... The girls got the season off to an great start with a 1:0 win.

Lady Trojans starters

Sunbelt Tournament

The girls participated in the 2009 Sunbelt Tournament in Pueblo this Saturday and Sunday. In the Championship match they were tied 1:1 after regulation time and went into double overtime. Still tied 1:1, the match was decided by penalty kicks. Unfortunately, we lost and took 2nd place. Which is still something to be proud of! Next week the Spring season starts and we are looking forward to an awesome season.

2009 Colorado State Wrestling Championships

3rd in Regionals. Chris is going to State!!!

FMS @ Cheyenne Mountain

FFCHS vs. Doherty

Yeah! Christopher pinned the #4 ranked kid in the state in the 3rd period. He had previously lost to him in the Metro Tournament's Semi-final. Chris is currently ranked 9th in Colorado (but hopefully that will go up after today). The Trojans took this Dual 50:28 and secured the 3rd place in the 5A Metro League.

FMS vs. Falcon

Crazy! Lincoln Invitational

The Trojans Varsity team traveled to Denver for the Lincoln Invitational Tournament. Unfortunately, Christopher lost his first match by points (2:6) and therefor was only able to take 5th place at best. Chris accomplished that by winning his remaining 4 matches. He got chop-blocked in the third match, hurting his right knee, but was able to finish the match, pinning the kid. In his 4th match he re-injured his left knee (the knee with the meniscus tear from football), but again was able to stay in the match and win by pin. Christopher, had one more match to go and somehow (after "Motrin, icing, and elevating") pulled off another pin to finish 5th (out of 27 schools). Christopher is now 27:6 for the season!... I am very proud of him for staying in the tournament with all the odds against him. That took a lot of heart...

FMS @ Skyview

The Lady Trojans unfortunately lost this game 27:29, but Shanice had a great game, scoring 15 points!

Metro Tournament

This was the tournament for the Colorado Springs Metro title. All schools (23) from the Metro area attented. Christopher lost his Semi-final to the Doherty wrestler, who is ranked 4th in the State. That's why he could only wrestle for 3rd or 4th in the final. Rampart (ranked 16th) beat Doherty for first place. Chris met Rampart twice this season, and won both matches... FFC took 3rd in the team rankings and Coach James and Coach O'Connor won the "Coach of the year" and "Assistant Coach of the year" award. Congrats!
Below is the celebration after the award announcements...
