What an exciting day for games. The competition is really heating up. Last night's football game between the Cavaliers and the Tar Heels went into overtime. Just as the sun was setting Virginia scored another touchdown to put them within one point of taking the lead. They made a gutsy call and decided to go for two. UNC secured the victory by taking the flag of the Virginia running back just two yards short of the goal line.
Brown got their first win in any sport yesterday. The Bears were victorious over the LSU Tigers in soccer. They were HOT! The final score was 5-2. This team might be lacking in "w's" but they certainly don't lack in friendship and team spirit.
Over on soccer field #2, The Aggies and The Fighting Irish were tied at the end of regulation. At that point the teams played a five minute overtime period. The game was still tied at the end of overtime so we began the penalty kick phase. Each team chooses five players to have a chance at a penalty kick. It's the just the kicker and the goalie. The teams made equal shots (4 out of 5 on each team made their shot), so we implemented a "sudden death" penalty kick phase. Notre Dame took their shot and missed. A&M took their shot and celebrated the sweet success of victory! It was a fantastic ending to a fantastic day here at Sports Camp.
We're gearing up for what we hope will be our last day of oppressive heat. The weather channel has promised a cold front late this afternoon. Phew....
We're looking forward to our first campfire night. Tonight we will present awards to the "campers of the week". We'll also watch 4 teams perform a skit. That ought to be fun. They have a lot of material to work with!
Have a blessed day.
