Washington State Cup Tournament: April 26-28th

What a wet, muddy, slippery, and cold week-end to spend in Issaquah....and what a great and fun week-end to watch premier soccer!!

These were brand new white when we arrived.  We had to buy Harper new shoes at Target cause these were so wet.

Me, Ry, Logan, Colby and Harper headed over on Friday after school.  Presley had a birthday party to go to that evening and Dave was finishing up work.  After we won on Friday evening, they decided to drive over and join us for Saturday's game.

This tournament was a single elimination tournament so once you lost, you were done.  I had made a hotel reservation for Friday only and we scrambled to find a hotel on Saturday night.  But, we'd do it all again to watch our Wenatchee boys WIN the whole tournament!!  Woo Hoo!!

Friday night we played a Tacoma team and won 4-1.  Saturday we played an Eastern team, XIFA, and won in a nail biter 3-2.  And Sunday, for the championship, we played RSA Elite, a team we've lost to twice, tied once, and won once.  We won over RSA 2-0.  It was so much fun to watch awesome play all week-end long.

After the final whistle blew...Washington Boys U11 Champs!!

So proud of these boys...can't wait to see them compete together in the years to come.  

Edited to add this note that came a week later...Logan grinned from ear to ear as he was reading.
