We have advanced to the next round (at this point it is single elimination)
We have travelled to Apple Valley ... it's cool and very very windy ...
These boys play their hearts out ....
Ryan scored a beautiful header off of Alex's corner
The wind is playing a factor in this game
you kick the ball and it literally stops in the air and floats down ...
But they play and they play hard ...
at the end of regulation ...we are tied 1-1
Overtime here we come ....
and after a double over time ...
WE WIN !!!!
2-1
We advance again !!!
Go Xplosion
This amazing win means .... Victorville we are your guests for the evening !!!!
Our time in Victorville included ...
soccer shopping (ryan got new indoor cleats)
a round of minature golf
a little spa time
dinner out with the 24 of us
and a hotel stay (with indoor hallways, Ryan's Favorite)
Sunday morning game .... 8am ..on the field at
7am !!!! My Iphone said 28 degree's ... however with the wind chill factor
the field thermometer reads ... 21 .. Yep ... 21 degrees
the heaters worked for a little bit, but with the crazy wind we could not keep them lit ....
game had not even started and ryan's face was beat red .. from the cold
So with under armor and gloves
our boys took the pitch
and they played their hearts out !!!!
However, they lost ... 1-0 ... But they had every reason to
hold their head's high
they ended up in the top 30 teams of the state of California in Silver/Silver Elite
Amazing !!!!
So proud of Ryan and the team
after a long weekend...ryan walked in the house and fell down !!!
Yes a nap followed !!!
