AS Roma?

No way. That's not an international soccer team.
That is Pueblo's own Middle School Soccer All Star Team.
The games were played in blistering heat this past weekend at Dutch Clark Stadium. Our very own associate photographer "Blaiser" was a member of the orange team so we "photo"chronicled his story.



The competition was fierce.....

As was the heat...

The temperature soared at Saturday's game forcing some spectators to cool off with sno cones and popcorn.

The game was neck and neck and went into a double over time.

Some times things don't work out in our favor, but we still put our heart into it....

And some fan's blood will always run orange....

Legends in Their Own TIme

I knew 3 young ladies who used to kick pretty good butt on the courts. Today's post is a small homage to them.

What's all the ruckus here you say? Well, you would say, if you were around the city's tennis courts this weekend. Every year for as long as I can remember, Pueblo gets to host the girl's 4A High School State Tennis Championship Tournament. Teams from all around the state come here to compete for the coveted "State Champ" crown. This year, to no one's surprise, Cheyenne Mountain from Colorado Springs is expected to take it. However, Pueblo will have some good representation with a handful of players from Central and Pueblo West High (This year's first time District Champs), along with one or two players from East High and Pueblo County High. Good luck ladies!
