The weekend of January 4-6 Thomas, Patrick, Frank, and I
went to Laramie for the Cowboy Turf Wars. I coached two teams of 11 and 12 year
olds in the U-14 silver bracket. Considering they were playing 12 and 13 year
olds they did not do too badly. The first game for Thomas was won 11-6. The
next game for the 11 year olds was lost 5-6 on a last second corner kick. It
was a lucky shot. Both teams went on to lose the rest of the games by one goal.
The last game for the 11 year olds was at 11:45 at night. They were doing
pretty well until the other team stuck a big kid in the goal.
Patrick’s team had a rough time. They played in the high
school junior varsity gold division with all freshmen. All of the teams they
played were either juniors or seniors, so they were a little outmatched. They
did play well against the teams.
Frank’s team had the best time, eventually winning 1st
place. Frank played well, flipping a ball over a keepers head and into the
goal. In the final game, he bounced the ball over the head of a defender about
three or four times so that the guy had no idea where it was.
Here is a picture of the 1st place team:
