Tournament Updates

Well the Petoskey tournament was successful in that the team made it to the finals. Unfortunately they came in runner up, unable to get that second goal to tie the game. Reese is playing very well and is contributing to the team immensely.
He just returned from Minnesota where the team played in the World Cup. They traveled by train, were gone a week and played at an international level. They played teams from Mexico, Haiti and Canada, unfortunately only beat the Mexico team. Though they did not fare better in their other games, they kept them close and only lost 1-0 or 2-1, so all in all a great experience for him.

Petoskey Tournament

Well the Petoskey tournament was alot of fun and we "almost" won the championship. Reese's team made it to the championship game but couldnt pull out that last goal and so they were runners up. They only lost by "1" and the team played pretty well. Reese is looking really good and has an eye for the play and is very fast. It is extremely agravating that he is not a starter, as he is one of the best on the team. I would like to see him get on a team like "Vardar" where the players are better and they play better competition, but Reese loves this team and wants to stay with it. The good thing is this coach is very college scholarship oriented and is going to keep the team together through their senior year and hopefully it will generate some scholarship possiblities. Reese is now on his way to Minnesota to a World Cup Championship Soccer tournament. The team is going by train and will leave tomorrow morning and return the following Sunday. He is very excited and we are excited for him. Will update you when he returns.
