Lax Day 2

Big Day of lax again. The FaceOff tent was consistently busy but not crazy like yesterday. Sold all of our sweatshirts due to the crappy weather so that was kind of cool! To clarify yesterday's post, the obnoxious kids and parents were out of towners, not anyone local! Most of the local kids know either me or Chris and would never give us a hard time.

Our Varsity team played a team from Brentwood, TN in the championship game but lost in sudden death over-time. They had a really, really good goalie but the rest of the team was nasty and obnoxious. We had a "little" altercation on the field and I'm particularly proud of Connor C. He's probably one of the most laid back kids I've ever met but this kid from Brentwood kept mouthing off to his own teammates, our players and even our parents (he actually yelled at our parents and told us all to shut the "F**K up" multiple times). He got into Connor's face and Connor let him have it! I don't condone that kind of behavior on the field but boy oh boy did this kid deserve it.

KJ had fun today w/ some of the player's little sisters.. They kept her occupied which was good. T's varsity team lost both their games today but we were proud of her; she was one of the only girls to take a couple of shots on goal. Hey, if you don't shoot, you can't score! She was a little bummed and disappointed which is kind of unusual for her. She normally doesn't let the score get her down. I'm not making excuses for our girl's team but you can definately see we still have some work to do compared to some of these other out of town teams. Our coaches are all volunteers and have "real" jobs, we practice 2 days/week whereas some of these other teams practice every day. Plus, some of these teams have been playing together for years as compared to us "newbies." We'll get there. I keep telling T just think how good they'll be when she's a junior or senior (keep in mind she's only an 8th grader, the other T on our team is an 8th grader and Victoria is a 7th grader!).

After the tournament end, all the local coaches and refs sat on the observation deck atop the big "party" bus and had ribs. I don't know if I was just really hungry or what, but these ribs were the best ribs I've ever had in my life. I think they were from Golden Rule BBQ.

So, back to the real world tomorrow. I have to help Chris unpack the U-haul and re-stock the store. T has lax practice AND a softball game. Her next lax game is Wednesday but w/ Dance Team try-outs looming, I think she wants to go to Hip Hop class instead. Tuesday is Toopid Tuesday (I can't think of anything else that rhymes w/ Tuesday) . . . Chris has lax games, both girls have dance, and I'm sure someone's got a softball game to go to. I hope it rains. We really need a night to just chill as a family.
