BTI Plays the Chilean UN troops
Friday the Michigan Iowa team had the fun of attending the 5th or 6th match up between the BTI soccer team and the Chilean soldiers posted to Pignon with the UN. The best fun was, when we arrived, both teams needed an extra player. So, Bethany Gilbaugh donned the orange uniform of the BTI team and Matt Entingh joined the opposition UN team, though he had to wear his own shirt and shorts. When Matt had spent the first half chasing the ball, making a few great blocks, kicking his share of the ball and getting into a leg race with BTI's longlegged team captain, he said he was done! It was more of a cardiovascular workout than this asthmatic American Football line backer was used to! So, Sam Gilbaugh took his place on the UN team. You can see Sam in the photo -- he's the white guy dressed in white as opposed to blue! Bethany didn't get a chance to play until the second half, but play she did! After the game, the UN troops invited the BTI team to the post for lunch on Saturday! A great time was had by all and there were, thankfully, no injuries.
