All The Marbles!

What a day! Mary and her Summit Country Day teammates won the state championship.

The day began with a two hour drive to the Columbus Crew stadium where we had a little tailgate party in the parking lot before the game. We settled into our seats shortly before kickoff and then the game was on. It didn't take long to realize that Summit totally outclassed Shaker Heights Laurel. Summit controlled the ball and the entire game. The score was 2-0 at halftime and quickly turned into a rout in the second half when Summit poured it on to take an insurmountable 5-0 lead. With about 10 minutes to play, the coach started pulling the starters and playing the second string. The second string gave up 2 garbage time goals and that's where it ended; Summit won 5-2.

This was a proud day for the Meyer Family. The first ever state championship. We are so proud of Mary. After all her practice and hard work, she finally got to bring home all the marbles. Actually it was a medal and a trophy, but you get the idea.

I think it's safe to say with Summit losing but one starter, they will be ranked #1 in the state next year and the odds on favorite to repeat as state champions.
