How to I get them to Fight for Jesus.



The day started out as a wonderful photo filled day full of excitement and antisipation. This game could get us to the finals.
Here's our professional team photo.



Here's our nonprofessional photo.



The game started out fun but full of nervous energy. The other team knew that they were not at the same skill level so it became on their end a fight for body strength not soccer skill. By half time our team was up by two goals. Goals that were scored from Penalty Kicks. This is our best player Money. He received the golden boot award for the season, which means he scored the most goals out of all the teams.



At half time I encouraged them and okay maybe a little yelling for them to work as a team and to not get aggressive or retaliate to the physical battle that was happening on the field.



During the second half we scored our third goal. But the aggression had long pasted normal and ended up into a huge fight where I ran into the middle of a violent storm of the craziest fighting I have ever yet to witness. I saw what once was joyful eyes turn to eyes full of hate and violence. Boys had trash cans and coconuts ready to smash into peoples heads. But thankfully no one was hurt. The Game ended at that final moment. They gave us the win but they gave two red cards to two of my players including Money our leading scorer.
