2024 Recap

 This was a fun year filled with lots of travel (for soccer). We were able to hit some of the fun places we’d already been to in years before and also we were able to go to some fun new places. 

In early January we had McKade move back home. We loved having him around. Initially he worked alongside Holly at Firehouse but soon got a job working at the surgical center for Physician’s Accounting. 

January also took us back to Phoenix for ODP Far West Regional. Kennedi’s 09 team defended their championship and Kamri’s team won the championship for the first time.

and…. Kamri’s Rebel Elite 07 Black team won their 4th President’s Cup in the U17 age

The next weekend Kamri played with Rebel Elite 06 Black and helped them win the Las Vegas Mayor’s Cup. In the semifinal game she scored the final 2 goals to lead her team over a tough LV Diversity team 4-2. Her 2nd goal was an “Olympico” where she scored on a corner kick.
