The older club players were in California this weekend: CHAWPS 16/18 Boys Tournament. The combined the tournament with 16 and 18 & Under teams (two of the 18 & Under teams pulled out at the last min). So we played against one 16 & under team, which was our 1st game. San Diego 16's had an awesome goalie - he stopped close to 12-16 of our shots (at least 8 of those shots should have gone in)... it was a close game from start to finish. In the fourth quarter with less than 1:30 left we score to go ahead by one goal. We played great defense and San Diego was not even allowed a shot at our goal. Team Vegas/Henderson won!! David our goalie had an awesome game (did not turn his head once) some great passes out and some nice saves.
With the win under our belt we could do no worst than 4th place. Our next game was against San Diego 18 years old - they was much strong, fast, and more experienced then our team. We gave them a good game, we made them play hard and more important we learn from our mistakes. We lost by 5 or 6 goals.
Our last game was for 3rd or 4th place - According to the schedule we were to play Santaigo 16's but he put in his 18's.... did not tell the players before the game. They were up most of the game, again we did not put away our shots. In the fourth quarter we tied them late in the game and then went ahead by one goal.
After this tournament we have so much to work on: Seeing the entire game, communication, 6 on 5, and getting to the next level. These will be our goals for Kearns next week.

The kids did great in this tournament. They started strong, and were not intimidated. I think that was a big step for them. They played very well as a team. I think our team was the only one to have girls in this boy's tournament, and they really contributed. Good job all around, and a very good way to prepare for the Kearns tournament. Lets go up there and play hard, play smart, and have a great time!
