Just the other day, the KICS team had our second game of the season against Nu-Vision High School. We were definitely the underdogs since they beat us last time 3-0. This time we were ready and were more prepared. Unfortunately, the outcome of the game did not fall in our favor, but we did walk away with both our pride and a few lessons learned. We learned that we had to stick together as a team. We also learned that no matter what the score is we must always keep our head up and keep trying. I really tried to encourage them at the end of the game that one month from now or ever a few months from now the score will mean nothing and they won't even remember it, but what they will remember is how they responded in that game. Did they play as a team? Did they feel defeated and give up? Or did they keep fighting and trying? We are learning a lot as a team and it is my hope that despite the score we are able to keep fighting as a team.

Holding on to our Pride.
KICS soccer is up and going again. We started practicing again in about February, but because of breaks and different holidays finding time to practice has been a bit of a challenge. Plus, we can only practice three days a week being a small school because on the other two days half of the team participates in drama.
