God's Girlz at State 2014

 God's Girlz combined teams.
 Having fun!

God's Girlz combined into one team to compete at State last Saturday. A couple other churches with more than 1 team combined also so there were only 4 teams competing. Two didn't come at all. It was a tough day for the girls. They won 4 and lost 5 which is not what they're used to but you can't win them all! The questions were undeniably tougher than regular season questions. Regionals will be worse! They came in 3rd place at State. 

Some of the other awards you'll see in the pictures held or worn by various girlz are:
1st place over the regular season to God's Girlz Grace Keepers (that's also Hannah's team)
3rd place over the regular season to God's Girlz Kingdom Seekers
3rd place for God's Girlz at State
One girl earned a bronze award (medal) but I forgot how much she quoted to her coach.
Five girls earned the gold award by quoting all 8 books they memorized to their coach with 4 mistakes or less per chapter.
Hanah earned a 3rd place medal for high individual points over the regular season AND at State.
Hannah also participated in some extra "just for fun" one-on-one competitions after quizzing. She did that last year too. She and two others (one was her team mate) tied for 1st place in the Quoting Bee as the quoting was going on and on with no mistakes so the judge called it a 3 way tie. 
We're just missing one plaque in the last picture but you get the idea. 

Regional competition will be in San Jose in May! The girls have some work ahead of them and I'm sure they'd appreciate prayer support.
