I haven’t updated you on the football tournament recently but since you’ve read the title you know already. Two weeks ago we played in the semi-finals and we beat that team 66-6. The score was actually 48-0 at half time. It was kind of a fun game in some ways, but frustrating in others. We kept swapping people around at different positions. I was starting on kickoff team as usual and also playing wide receiver and corner back. I got pretty tired because since they were not scoring hardly at all they never kicked the ball (the only team I wasn’t playing on was the kick return team). But it was a fun game.
Last Sunday was the final game. It was a tough game, the team was pretty hard and the refs were giving our team a hard time about anything they possibly could. We ended up winning the game in the last few minutes as our defense held the other team (Seoul University) tightly against their own goal line. They snapped for a punt, it went over the kickers head and he scrambled to get the ball and went down in the endzone and we got a safety. We won the game 2-0. We won the tournament, Yonsei’s first time in 10 years. We got the trophy and celebrated thoroughly. It was great that my Dad was able to be there at our game. He had watched us at a couple of our practices and even came out to our celebration party after. It was a lot of fun.
