Ok so I know I’ve been posting a lot about the Villa soccer team but this is big news! The Jems won their first round PIAA Class One Division AA playoff game last night. As this is the first time in five years that the team has made it to the state playoffs, every win should be celebrated. Even though the team is undefeated right now, wins are not guaranteed.
I’ll admit, I was a little nervous when I went to check the score in the paper this morning. There was a chance that the team had lost since none of these girls have been to the state playoffs before. That’s a lot of pressure.I know during my time at Villa it was expected to not only make it to the state playoffs but to win the state championship every year. (Ok, so we were a little cocky. But honestly, every year we had the team to back it up!) From reading this article, it really sounds like these girl’s know what they’re doing. I think Villa soccer is getting it’s swagger back!
Villa next plays in the Quarterfinal on Saturday so let’s hope this win streak continues! Go Villa!
