It has been a great season, and a great end to the year,
We won our leagues and that made all of us cheer.
Next up is states and we’ve never won first round,But this year is very different, as we all quickly found.
We would play the winner of Cresskill and Morris Tech,
Cresskill came out came out strong with a 5 to 0 wreck.
We had played Cresskill once and lost by a goal,
But we all went to work in order to leave no hole.Focus and determination were two key factors,
As well as teamwork, this is what always matters.
I was so incredibly scared of losing our first state game,
That I took every preparation to get us our fame.It had been since 2005 that New Milford has beat
The Cougars in any game, no one could ever defeat.
I didn’t sleep well; I stayed awake grinding my teeth.
I shook the whole day, and had to remember to breath.We would get out early to change and warm-up,
As the time got closer, I felt my stomach about to erupt.
Two o’clock comes and the whistle to play blows,
“Here we go girls, let’s put on our best show.” We struggled at first like we unfortunately always do,
But something about today was different I knew it to be true.
Middle of the first half we get two goals in a row,
We were so relieved now but there was time for the foe."Three goals to lock in the win", our coach said at half,
And we got that off a corner kick right after that.
We celebrated and cheered but the game wasn’t done.
Here comes their best player; she was like a loose pet.
I dove as she shot but didn’t get there quick enough,
But I knew we were fine because we were all very tough.
The end whistle blows, and we all scream and shout.
Bye, bye Cresskill, they are officially out!We made it to the semi-finals, and made history too.
I couldn’t be prouder of all my soccer boos.
It was a tiresome preparation and a very tough game.
But in my head it will always and forever remain.
