JO - Day 3

It was a long day today - we had 4 games (one of the games was schedule yesterday but because of a mistake in the schedule we had 4 games instead of 3 games).

Game 1: 9:30 vs 680 - 1st we started off getting on the freeway that was backed up because of an accident on the freeway - so we had to take side streets for 25 mins to get 2 miles. Again turnover killed us, bad passes or stolen balls on the wing. Again we were in the game every mistake we made the other team took advantage of. We lost by a few goals.

Game 2: 2:30 pm vs Greenwich - this was a heart breaker we were tied then with 1 min left we scored to go ahead by 1 goal - it was an awesome quick hard pass and shot!! Then we did not press and they got the ball into set and we got kicked out - they scored the man up. So now we are tied with about 20 second, we line up pass the ball back make a pass to the wing who is not looking and the ball is stolen - they get the ball back and we get kicked out again and they score with 1 second left game over.

Game 3: 5 pm vs Splash (San Jose) this game did not matter if we won so and the team need this win to go 1st in our bracket, if they lost they would move to 2nd in our bracket.... so we talked with (both coaches) were going to play everyone!! This game we could have won!!! easily!!! We were finally clicking!! But we rested our players for our 4th game of the day!! It was pretty funny the parents could not understand our subbing!!

Game 4: 7:30 PM - Sacramento... we got off to a great start 4-1 then the old habits came back - bad passes - turnovers on the wings and the next thing we know the game is tied at the end of the 3rd quarter 4-4. Fourth quarter we traded goals - and ended in a tie 6-6 so we had a shootout.

Sac went 1st - they made it
TVH missed

Sac missed it = we win and our last shooter did not have to shoot.

Our last game will be at 10:30 am

It has been a great experience for all the players - Adam and Zach got playing time and really did an outstanding job!!! Jake stepped up his game... Ryan played well and learn to take a press!! David played in the field and in the goal for 2 quarters in one game and the entire game.... even though he was playing in the field all summer, he stepped it up and did a great job in the cage!!!

Good Night it is way pasted my bedtime after 4 games, in the sun all day and all the stress..... but Loved it!!
