San Diego Results

Great Weekend!!!!

We took 3 teams (10's 12's and 14's) to San Diego this past weekend. Before I begin I want to Thank Angie for doing a great job of setting up the hotel, rides, cost, snacks, water, organizing parents, taking care of her baby, two kids and keeping her husband in check!!! Thanks Angie!!

The 12's had an easy way to the top 3 spots by outscoring the other teams by sometimes as must as 15 goals. But when it came down to the top 3 teams we could not match up with other two teams balanced skilled players. And lost their last 2 games (and we missed Mary in the last two games) but ended up with a Bronze finish... out of 9 teams. If we gave out a game ball this would go to Jared for his consistent good play.

The 14's played great defense and have really improved their offense since their last tournament in Utah. It was unfortunate that San Diego Shores changed their teams around and put their A's in our bracket and put their B and C team in the other bracket.... our only lost to San Diego Shores which meant the highest place we could get was 3rd. This was Shores A closes game and should have been the final game for the gold. Our 14's won all their other games by a large margin. The game ball would go to Hunter not only for have a great tournament in the cage but he played sick - not just sick but really sick!!

Our little one won the Gold!! I don't know who was happier the players or their parents!!! We had 15 players - poor Robert, coaching them was a hard job but to get everyone playing time was a job in itself. It was so nice to see our little ones doing such a good job in such a short time playing... can't wait till they are 14. It was so cute to see Estell one of our youngest players guarding United's not only their best player but their biggest - and when the ball came into set Estell just came down hard and stole the ball from him (this was int he final and closes game). The game ball would go to Lake for his head up play and improvement this tournament... plus he gave up his cap in the 4th quarter to let his little brother play (who is taking lessons in the once a week class).

Parents, I also want to Thank you for your support to the club, your participation in getting your kids to workout, tournaments and outings.
