Mayors Cup Tournament ... March 2011

This weekend Ryan and his team competed in the Orange County Mayors Cup Tournament
and boy it was a blast !!! The boys played their hearts out over and over....
The tournament started out a bit rocky with a 7-0 loss to Las Vegas Elite ( a team that was amazing, just a great team, even our boys were in aughhh ) but our boys rallied and pulled it back together for a
great game a few hours later. After day of soccer, LMSA "Real Madrid" was moving to the
Semi-Finals on Sunday morning... Our boys showed up ready for another day of soccer and as the semi's ended we were tied 1-1. So in a double set of penalty kicks, with Real Madrid shooting and scoring our first 5 .. and scoring the next 2 ... Ryan shoots in 7th place and scores.
Way to go Real Madrid ... we are off to the Championship game at 2pm (against Las Vegas)
Our amazing boys took the field with their heads held high ( knowing this was going to be an uphill battle)
they played their hearts out and took 2nd place ... loosing to Las Vegas (a gold club team ) only
3-0 ... I and all the other parents could not be prouder of our boys who played with heart and
lost with style giving Vegas a standing applause. (They derserved it, man were they good )
What a way to start our spring season ... 5 new players .... not a lot of field practice ...
and an amazing tournament...
Way to go Ryan ... you made us proud !!!
Ryan .. loves this game and plays with all his heart
A moment Ryan will  never forget .. Semi Final Game and Ryan scores game winning shot in doulble PK's
as the team descends on Ryan with lots of hugging and hig 5's ....Harrison (the goalie) runs for ryan as lifts him to his shoulders and carries him across the field..
wow what a moment
Ryan and Tino .. Captains in the Championship Game
Ryan very proud of his medal !!!
