Last Chick's update

I realized I never revealed the results of our final Chicks game. Yes, we only played one game, but it was a great game. We came out intense,aggressive, and focused, and blew the other team out of the water scoring two touchdowns in about seven minutes. So, we finished the first half in the lead by one touchdown, and I think all of us were a little shocked. The first part of the second half, however, is where we lost the game. Our quarterback threw a heartbreaking interception that turned into a touchdown, and with that momentum, the other team scored another quick one. We reorganized and refocused, and came back the last seven minutes to play hard again, but it was too late. The last play of the game was so beautiful that it almost brought tears to our eyes. It was a hook and ladder, so our quarterback through a quick pass to our wide receiver. The other team quickly pulled her flags, but not before she had tossed the ball to our running back who was barreling up the sidelines. The whistle blew to end the game with our running back literally within two steps of the touchdown line. This touchdown would have put the final score 30-26. Pulling off that play, however, still felt like a glorious finish. Although we did not advance to the next round, all of us felt that we had accomplished something over the course of the season. Most of us had learned a new sport and learned how to work as a team in a couple of months. A bunch of us lingered after the game, reluctant to end a fun and rewarding season.

So, the Chicks have disbanded, but there is already talk of playing next year!
