Queen City Tune Up

Last weekend our high school team went to Charlotte for the Queen City Tune-up. The weather was amazing and the team was even better! We are in the thick of the season right now. We have three practices a week and league games sprinkled around. This was our big away tournament of the season so we all packed up and headed to Charlotte for the weekend.

On Saturday we went 1 and 3. Our first game was probably our toughest in the sense that we were pretty well matched against that team but our guys had to play hard. I think playing so hard that first game tired them out for the rest of the day. We didn't end up winning that one but it was  very good, close game.

Part of Derrick's motivation to the o-line during the last game was they got to pick dinner if they scored the point. They did and they chose Olive Garden. The busiest place ever that doesn't take reservations and we needed to seat 35. Luckily we were able to head there around 4:30 and only waited for about 30 minutes.

On Sunday we dropped down to the lower bracket and had three more games. We won all three games on double game point. Talk about giving your coach a heart attack! It was so fun to win those games so closely though and our team was so pumped up about it. 

I feel like all I talk about it how much we love this team. This picture just makes me smile so much though. We are so lucky to have such an awesome group of guys.
