Lacrosse Tournament

This is a picture of my team!

This past weekend my lacrosse team played in a tournament in Blake, Minnesota.  There were 28 teams at the tournament, and we were split up into different seeds.  This is the only tournament that we do the whole season, so our coach was telling us that we have to go hard and play hard if we wanted to go all the way to the championships. A lacrosse game consists of two 25 minute halves, but at this tournament, we just played half hour games, due to not enough time to play full games.  We were scheduled to play 4 games, and depending on how we did on those, determined whether we would go to the finals. We lost our first game to one of the best teams there; we only lost by two, and we kept the game close.  We were tied at one point, but then they got ahead and they won.  We won our next three games, though, and that was enough to get us in the finals!  Our first game in the finals was against a team that we had tied against in our regular season.  We were ahead 7-3, but then the refs saw lightning, and whenever they see lightning we have to wait half an hour until we can play again.  The lightning kept coming, and soon after, the rain.  But the refs said that since the game was over 80% over, and whoever is ahead will win, so our team had won! We were in the top 4 out of 28 teams! The people running the tournament said that they will try to reschedule the remaining games, but they don't know for sure.  I really hope they do!!!!!
