Road to Little Rock -- Day 4!
We awoke this morning, 5:30 LR, to a knock on the door, it was Tara McKiernan delivering the the boys specially put together breakfast of sliced apples & a bagel with peanut butter. The boys swallowed down the prepared meal & then headed down to the balcony floor to get the bagged breakfast provided by the hotel. The boys returned with a croissant & oranges. They were a disappointed that there was no muffins like yesterday.
From the Field
Javanon opened play today against YMS Explosion from East Pennsylvania. YMS scored first in the 18 min on a Own Goal. Tough play by both teams for the remainder of the half held the score to 1-0 YMS at half. Both teams had opportunities but the cool early morning and wet fields made play tricky.
Second Half
Tough play in the second half but Javanon was not able to get a goal. Javanon held YMS scoreless. Although Javanon had several opportunities YMS was able to stop us at every time.
Javanon Goalie Taylor Hafling was sent off in the 83 minute of play for a last defender tackle at midfield.
Play thru the midfield on both teams was excellent today & the breaks just went the other way today! Both teams movement of the ball was good but the J-boys short game seemed to let them down today.
Final Score YMS (1), Javanon (0)
The boys are going to regroup & play a hard game tomorrow!
The boys had a leisurely day after the tough earlier game! They had a great lunch prepared by the moms at the hotel & then went to see the new Batman movie later. The team wrapped up the day with another great supper, provided by Sysco, & then the families ended the night with the usual corn hole & BS sessions to wrap up the night!!!

Guys, we're proud of you for just *being* there. Obviously, we'd all love it if you could pull out a victory in your 3rd game, but in the end, take heart in the fact that thousands of other players across the country would gladly trade place with you, especially with custom-delivered apple & bagel room service! :-)

PS. Remember, if you're doing your dead-level best, nobody can ask for more than that!!! Leave it all out on the field... then hold your heads high. God bless!
