Trophies were Earned

     Most of my weekend was dominated by the Nightmare at the Rock soccer tournament. I lost some "shut-eye". We had to get up at 6:00 for one game but that was the least of it. I hope the dogs slept better than us.
     Our first game on Saturday was successful. We won 3-2 with a nail-biting end. The next game taught us a lesson. Never eat with the team. We ate too much and no one was focused.  We were shut out, 6-0. We played Lexington F.C, an amazing team. They could pass well and dribble around everyone. All their players were well conditioned.

     The weather was the only thing to complain about on Sunday. The wind bit at uncovered fingers. Even the grass was chilled. The fields were frozen Sunday. Our cleats collected frost on them thus making saturated socks.
      Our early morning game was a tie and that got us into the championship and we played Lexington again in the afternoon. This time we made sure not to eat too much before the game. The weather was much better, no stocking caps were needed. We scored two goals, which was a victory. Yet,  we lost by the same amount. At least we were the first to score on Lexington the whole weekend. 
     Because we were second, we got a big team trophy and everyone received their own smaller trophy. They are neat little things. 
     The dogs had lots of time to themselves. We were glad to see they were all good doggies when we came home. They were happy to see us and Hoover had to checkout the trophy.
