The 19-21 of February our club team had signed up for a soccer tournament. The winter cup. Boy, was it winter. We had games Thursday night, Friday all day, and then Saturday if we won. As the tournament got closer we realized it was going to be wet and cold. High of 37 and lows in the 20's during the day. Thursday evening. I had a district training I had to do, and so I would be missing this nights game. It was raining, windy, and turning to snow with a wind chill of 35 maybe. The boys dressed as warm as they could, but they were so cold they were crying. It was a rough game. We played a team from up north who probably practiced in this type of weather all the time. They ended up winning us 5-2. Landon came home with his hands still frozen and cold and jumped right into the shower. The next morning at 8:00 it was 27 degrees, but at least we had sun and no rain/wet. The boys were in better spirits this morning probably because they got to miss school for these games. They had a fun game and won 5-1. Landon had a couple good shots on goal, isaac had a shot, miles had one and I think thad had one as well. We had a little break in between games so we were able to run home grab a lunch, clean up and then head back down to sullivan fields for our next game. It got a little cloudy, but wasn't a bad day. Still low 40's maybe. The boys fought so hard for this game. They new if they won they would be in a tie to go to the games tomorrow. The played their hearts out and it went back and forth the whole game. Landon fought and played tough. He took some good hits and the kid who was on him got a yellow card. We ended up losing 3-4. It was a rough lose, but the boys played as good as i've ever seen them. It was a good learning tournament for us, and it was fun for the boys to do it before the season starts in a few weeks.
