Championship Game

Vegas Day 2
The alarm went off and it was definitely a struggle getting out of bed. I finally dragged myself out of the room and forgot to even put shoes on. I had oatmeal again (which I actually really enjoyed) and then went back up to the room to get dressed. Once everyone was downstairs I basically ended up braiding everyone's hair and then we left for the field. The warmup was extra fun because of our wonderful pump up playlist. It then came time to play and the first whistle blew. Like before, it was also a blowout.
Our next game was at four so it gave us about five hours to hang out. This consisted of us eating of specialized Jimmy John lunches, trying to get some sun, trying to take cute pictures, more eating, and we also watched part of the JV game.

 The five hours flew by (time flies when you're having fun) and it was then time for, yet again, another warm up. It then came time to play (again) and the first whistle blew. Unlike before, oh who am I kidding it was yet again another blowout. After the game we all piled into cars and went back to the hotel to shower so we could make it back in time for the boys game. I didn't even watch the boys game, I was hungry so I went and got a burger and it was delicious. Most girls then went back to the hotel and had tacos. Of course me being me I found something really funny while eating the taco and once I tried to explain why I was laughing I spit up all my food on one of my coaches. Good job Morgan. We were all up for a while after tacos, I hung out in the hall with some girls until we were kicked out by the security guard. Go team.
Vegas Day 3
The next morning was hectic to say the least. I woke up pretty early and got breakfast done with. I then went to my room to pack and get ready, which took a lot longer than I thought. Once I thought I had everything together I went to the lobby to braid some hair. Then we were off. To make it to the Championship Game we had to beat two teams. The first game was fairly easy and the second was no different. To loosen us up before the big game we all had dances to perform, which actually turned out to be pretty funny.
After the goofing around ended we knew it was time to get serious for the game. Warm ups were stricter and we all put our game faces on. Stick check came (the first one of the tournament) and the game had begun. The game was going pretty well and then Brighton kicked things up a notch. We were up at half, but the minutes started to go quickly and we were suddenly tied. With less than a minute left Brighton got the ball and shot. BUT OH MY GOSH MADELINE KOMISAR! Our goalie saved it and time expired. Basically the game ended when we went into sudden death overtime and Brighton got a penalty which enabled us to shoot and score. It was awesome being able to play with the team and take the title for the third year in a row!

The Beginning of Vegas

Last Thursday, right after school, the lacrosse team started the drive to Vegas. We all went in different cars because we couldn't get a bus in time. I drove down with my friend Brianna and her mom. We left around 4 pm and with a couple stops we ended up arriving at 10.

Before going to the hotel we took a quick run to whole foods because we felt gross and hadn't eaten for a while. Brianna got pasta and I got a caesar salad. After preparing ourselves, we finally got to the hotel. I went to my hotel room and two of my three roommates were there, Ellie and Luisa. I put my stuff down and went to Brianna's room because not of her roommates had arrived yet. After a little while I went back to my room and got ready for bed. We all talked for a little while and got comfortable because we would be spending the next three nights together. Within 20 minutes we were all asleep knowing we had to get up for 9 o'clock breakfast and 10 o'clock practice.
I woke up to Sophie (my other roommate) leaving the room, I decided to get up and have breakfast with her. We went downstairs and got some oatmeal and talked for a while. The rest of the group came down a little while after and then we all had to get ready for practice.
Practice was a walk through and wasn't very hard. It was just so we could get used to the weather, the fields, and playing with each other before our first game. Practice was only an hour and a half, right after we went to the hotel to get food and chill before our first varsity game which was at 7. I got back to the hotel and saw that I was sunburned which was wonderful.
Time flew by and we started piling out of the hotel to get to our game. We all warmed up and the game has started. I stood on the sidelines for a while and when I got put in I went for attack, which is not my position. I was very lost and upset because I felt I didn't know what I was doing. We ended up winning the game by a lot and had an hour gap before our next one. The second game was also a blowout and I played some midfield, which was better than attack.

 Everyone was exhausted so we went back to the hotel and went to sleep to wake up for a 10 o'clock game. Stay tuned for day 2 and 3 where we make it to the Championship game..!
