Unanticipated Victory (and Lil' Romeo, too)

by Josephine :: Saturday December 24, 2005

As the weeks of school began to wind down, the girls’ soccer team saw the fruits of its early-season labor. After about eight practices (including try-outs), we ducked out of classes early on Wednesday, December 7th to travel down to Winward, a school in Los Angeles. Nobody expected greatness from this game; we had lost to Winward the previous winter in a CIF playoff match at the end of the season. Upon arrival, however, we were met with two fabulous surprises: Firstly, we got to interact with Lil’ Romeo, a pseudo-celebrity of the year 2000/son of famous rapper Master P. Secondly (and perhaps more pertinently), we ended up beating Winward 3-2, a glorious feat considering the fact that it was a pre-season game. Needless to say, the van ride back to campus was far from lacking in smiles and happy vibes.
