Junior Olympics Results - Day 1

This year's JO are being played a little different: there are two Levels Plat (Top Level - strongest teams) and Gold Level (bottom level - weakest teams). There are 16 Brackets - all the winners of their brackets go to the Plat - all the 3rd place teams go to the Gold - all the 2nd place teams play off one game with another 2nd place team - winners of these games to to Plat and losers go to Gold.

We were seeded in the A bracket which meant we had the best team in the tournament.. the other team was San Diego Shores.

So our 1st game we did not play a good game at all and gave them 6 goals and we tied 7-7.... which now means we could not let the #1 team score more than 11 goals. Lamorinda beat Shores 12-7. For us to get to the Plat level we had to only play defense. Bottom line we lost the game but won the war. We lost 9-4! This meant we had another game against the team that was 2nd in their bracket... The Trojans (USC's club team). We beat them 8-3... great defensive game again!!!

So now we are playing with the big boys - college coaches will be coming to watch teams/players in the Plat level - and Team Vegas/Henderson is there!!!!

So you might see us lose more games then we win because we will be playing the top team in the nation!!!

Mark, Max and I were up from 6 am and just got back from dinner at 9 pm and we have a game against two #1 teams at 8 am. Good Night!!!
