God's Girlz at Regionals

 The girlz before their first match on Friday.

 The team with various awards.
Our girl. You only get one team plaque so we have to order a plaque for her to keep.



Regional JBQ competition was held yesterday & today. Phew! I'm so glad we won state and didn't have all that pressure these past two days. Yesterday was 6 rounds & today they had 5 rounds. Yesterday they won 4 & lost 2. Today was not as good as they won 2 and lost 3. Some were very close. So over the whole competition they were 6 & 5 and ended up in 5th place in our region. They still would have made it to Nationals but it would have been a little scary if we were still fighting for a spot.

God's Girlz has a reputation though. Some teams admitted they dreaded playing us or that they hoped we'd skip Regionals so they wouldn't have to play us. Teams were VERY excited when they did beat us. I overheard teams saying they got slaughtered by God's Girlz. One California team said they were excited & scared to play us. Another older gentleman told one of our coaches that our team was one of the most professional he's ever seen in 50 years of doing JBQ.  While the girls were disappointed with their losses, I think it'll keep them humble. We'll see what Nationals brings:)
