State Games of Mississippi





Mallory participated in her first State Games of Mississippi. She played on the Trustmark Divas, a girls U8 soccer team. They played well and had a lot of fun. The State Games have been held in Meridian for 17 years. It's the largest sporting event for amateur athletes...a statewide "mini Olympics". There were thousands of athletes (and their families) in town over the past 2 weekends. It's great Mallory was able to participate. Their team played 4 games yesterday. Mallory had a rough start yesterday. She's NOT a "morning person". They had games at 7am, 10am, 2pm and 5pm. She stepped it up with each game and had 4 goals by the end of the day. Their team ended their State Games with a big win, 8-4. Way to go Divas!
