Wonders of the Ancient World Soccer Tournament Click a picture to enlarge it. Photos and Articles by Matt Lurrie
On the very first day of camp, while the entire camp huddled in the gym for announcements on account of the rain, the "The 2006 Campus Kids World Cup of 'Some call it Futbol, others call it Soccer', but really it's just kicking a ball. Wonders of the Ancient World Soccer Tournament." It began with six teams. Throughout the weeks, as the competition heated up, four teams, the Hungry Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Really Great Pyramids of Giza, Sensational Statues of Zeus, and the Colossal Colossus of Rhodes were eliminated. On Friday, the two remaining teams played each other in the Campus Kids World Cup.
	The remaining two teams lined up to have their names read to a cheering audience. These two remaining teams were the Fighting Pharaohs of Alexandra and the Mighty Mausoleums of Halicarnassus.
The referees for the match were Ryan and Paul, assisted by linesmen Alex and Dave.
	The teams had been preparing custom uniforms, and were prepared for the game.
With DJ's and announcers in place, the match was ready to begin.
It took little time for the game to get fully underway. The night before, Staff Assistants has been searching frantically for nail clippers. Had they been at this nail-biter of a game, those nail clippers would have been obsolete.



There were some very close calls.
	And some great plays.
And while the crowd cheered and watched, there was only one goal scored.
	That goal was scored by the Fighting Pharaohs' own Jack G.
And that was all they needed to secure a victory.
These are the team shots for all six contenders. The illustrious and elusive Web Photo Journalist can be found amongst the teams.
