Hi, this is a random post and I don't even know if I'll get credit for it but I didn't know what to write about so I decided to write about soccer.
As you may know, I have played varsity soccer at LAHS for 3 years. When I was a freshman we got relegated, meaning we moved down a league. This season, however, we won league, and made it to CCS playoffs. Because we won league, we will be moving up next year and will be playing teams such as Mountain View High and Palo Alto High. One player, Hannah W. got 16 goals this season and was obviously the leading scorer. I was the leading assister with 8 assists in the season and 7 goals.
I play for Palo Alto Blue 99g and we are number one in the country for the 18 and under age group. This last weekend we played at a showcase in San Fransisco and went 4-0. Jessika Cowart was the lead scorer last weekend with 3 goals and I was the second lead scorer with 2. In the weekend we scored 10 goals and let in one. On Sunday, we played while it hailed! The weather was so cold and when the hail came down it hurt a bit on our legs and faces. In the second game, the referee added 4 minutes of extra time but cut it short due to the hail.
We play in two leagues, NPL and CRL and compete in state cup. The winners of state cup goes to regionals and then if they do good there they go to nationals. In 2 weeks we will be heading to a National League tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Since there is no question I will introduce one. Would you rather stay down a league and dominate again or move up and likely be moved down again the next year? I think moving up is the decision to make because any possible scouts will not care whether you are good or not in a lesser league. You need to do good where the competition is at.
