Road to Little Rock-- Finished!

First of all we need to thank John for stepping up & doing a great job in the goal!!! Thanks.

Secondly regardless of the results this past weekend we are very proud of the boys!! The achievement of this team to reach the nationals was clearly unbelievable. Now is there a thirst to return next year? I believe so!!!

My view of the run ( I am just a soccer father with no real expertise) was that the boys definitely played very hard but that the other teams were better organized, more disciplined, better prepared, & better conditioned. These are things that can definitely be fixed for next year. I really do not see where these teams were more athletic or more skilled than our boys! The true difference in the games were that the other teams were able to capitalize on set plays better than we were. Our goalies were never really challenged a whole lot but the other teams finished the opportunities they had!!

Thanks players & families!!! Now onto the "Road to Lancaster, Massachusetts 2009"
