What a day! Our boys won 1st place in the futsal finals this morning against the Mad Dawgs (which we heard is made up of the best players from Inter - can you say Premier players?) and what a great feeling that was! It started out on Thursday night when the team played in the semi-finals and beat a Blue Knights team in a game that was absolutely - in Mike's words - "the best game of athletic ability that he has ever seen!" It was a hard-earned win, with us parents totally stressed out on the sidelines for the whole game (we wanted the boys to beat that team as much as, if not more than the boys wanted to). I'm sure winning that game set the tone for today's game. Our boys wanted to win! The game started out at 9:40 am and at the end of the 1st half we were down 3 to 4. At the end of a very stressful 2nd half it was tied 5/5. It then went into a shootout with Brady in goal and James, Carson, Kade and Kenny shooting against the Mad Dawgs goalie. After our boys shot and the other team shot, it was tied again at 3/3. It then went into keeper vs keeper. Brady stopped the shot against the Mad Dawgs keeper and then Brady kicked the winning shot and we won the game! Talk about excitement! Brady did an awesome job under intense pressure as anyone who has ever been in a shootout can tell you. Way to go USA! The boys all played extremely hard and should be very proud of themselves!
