Kameron, #3 in red, has had an AWESOME season this late summer & fall. His team has made the playoffs, which is double elimination . . . loose 2 games and your done. His team has won 3 games in a row to make it to the championship game, which was this evening. An incredible game; a tough game. After 4 quarters of play, the score was still 0 - 0. After 5 minutes of sudden-death over time, 0 - 0 . . . on to penalty kicks. After 3 rounds of 5 penalty kicks each, and literally IN THE DARK, Kam's team lost in "sudden-death" penalty kicks. Since it was his teams first loss in the playoffs, and since the team we played already had a loss on their way to playing Kam's team, we play them again in the REAL championship this Thursday, the 14th. I have to say I have an ulcer after that game tonight. It was so stressful to watch them play so hard . . . back and forth . . . coming so close. I'm certain it was harder on me than on Kameron . . . and man did he have an awesome game. He loves to play defense, and the ball rarely got behind him and on to the goalie tonight. The other team only had a handful of shots on goal, and I suppose, as did the Red team. Now that Kameron is in the 10-11 y.o. league, the games are more exciting, the skills of the children are much better, and they are really exciting, fun games to watch . . . and I already have butter-flys for thursday . . .
