I guess they wanted to win
May 21, 2007
I brought the Nikon D50 with me to St. Vincent’s College this weekend where my girls had their end-of-the-season lacrosse tournament. Last year, it was very laid back. We played maybe four games, with an hour or two between each one to rest, eat, and walk around the college, which is private and very beautiful.
I didn’t get one picture.
Turned out that my team thought it would be a better idea to be badass as hell and destroy the other teams in attendance. We had 7 games total, practically back to back, and they surprised everyone by winning it all and coming out the best team in Western Pennsylvania.
Coaches fought and opposing team members cried. We walked by tents of players and coaches, looking at us in surprise, awe, and frustration. It was fantastic. At one point, a group of players provoked a rumble, and I had to calmly remind them that they were 14 years old.
It turns out that my girls were underestimated, even by me.

That is awesome (the winning streak, not the lack of pictures, of course)!

Congrats on the victory! Afterwards you should have collapsed their tents and laughed. Well, maybe not, but it might have been a great finish to the day.
