Players Showcase Las Vegas Tournament

Blue Knights took off for another weekend tournament this past weekend.  This time we traveled to Las Vegas and participated in the Players Showcase there.  Only Evan and I made the trip this time, since Dave and the boys had work and McKinley has had enough soccer for now.

 Each game we played on a different field in and around Las Vegas.  We had some fun finding the fields and a little bit of fun driving around and exploring.  Our games were afternoon and evening games, so we had each morning to sleep in and do a little bit of fun before the games.  One morning we stayed at the hotel and swam, the next we went down to the Las Vegas strip to the M&M store and the Addidas store.  We also made a stop at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop (from the show Pawn Stars).

The team played very well.  Our first game we played very well and ended up with a 1-2 loss.  The second game was an easy 8-0 win and then another game that night was their best game with a 0-2 loss.  The team learned a lot and played very well...so I think it was successful.  We're starting our season now, so no more traveling for a bit.
 All in all it was a great time.  I love these boys and how they are so positive and supportive to each other.  We've been with most of them for 3 years now and they are just great kids!  Go Blue Knights!
