State Games of Mississippi
The Boomers had a great State Games. There were 16 teams in their age division. They played tough in the heat. On Saturday they won 2 games. Mackenzie had a rainbow shot from almost midfield over the goalies head into the net! (Heard all about it but missed it since I was on the other side of town with Mallory) On Sunday they won their first game and advanced to the semi finals where they played Vicksburg. They won 3-1 and headed into the championship game to face JFC White. This one was an intense game for players, coaches and families on the sidelines. It was a nail biter! The game was tied 1-1 with about 10 seconds in the game, then we scored the go ahead goal to win the GOLD MEDAL! What a fantastic way to end the season. GO BOOMERS!
