Okay... My team was the official home school novice team of the year. But guess what? We were in finals today. We in fact went up as forth against M******* varsity team. We were ranked forth in the region and they were the first according to win/loss records and points. So we go up against them right? We have a good judge (verses a biased judge) and seemed to have a fairly good jury. We are neck and neck with the team. It was great. We had NO NOTES ON THE TABLE. We used NO NOTES ON OPEN, DIRECTS, CROSSES, or CLOSING. We were doing okay except our objections and responses were just not as strong. A*** needed to SLOW DOWN, S****** needed to SPEAK UP, and I just needed more practice being SMOOTH. Get this; we did not win because of a mere 15 points. That's all. Period. We are the novice team. None of us had been in a trial up until Blue Tornado, which occurred last November. The M******** team has done this for at least one year most likely more. The fact is is that they were not novices, we were. But guess what THE RED TEAM IS GOING TO STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means WE get to GO to STATE to help them scrimmage and practice. I am so PROUD of my TEAM!!!!!! I am so PROUD of the RED TEAM!!!!! God has truly given us favor and I am really thankful. I knew it would be a hard trial; I am just so pleased that we even made it to FINALS. That means we beat at least 2 other considerably eligible schools that DIDN'T make it to FINALS! I know I am rambling, but this is my first year and we made it to FINALS!! We seriously ALMOST BEAT M********!!!! We came this --- close to beating them, and we definitely left an impression on M******** and the judges. State is March 16-18th so I have a lot of homework to catch up on and we still need to scrimmage with the Red team.
Thank you Jesus for your grace, Your ability in us doing through us what we do not have the ability to do for ourselves. God is so GOOD. I need to go do homework (((((BLEH)))) and see if I can catch up on some of the stuff I didn't get done last week.
