Hero's Cup Day 2

It was an early morning for a road trip back to Mesquite.  Reganne & I were alone for this trip.  Ryder was invited to attend the Fall Modules Swim Meet.  We are going to have a divide and conquer day.  We arrived early enough to stop at Starbucks for some hot chocolate and McDonald's for breakfast.
The sun was shining time for warmups.  

Right Wing

Keeping tabs on the ball.

Open and Ready

The girls played really hard and had their first shut out.  Their team effort was pretty amazing as they were talking to each other.  They also could be heard encouraging each other.

We headed back home to meet back up for lunch and see how Ryder did during him meet.  No pictures from the meet instead 3 First Place Ribbons.  His times are improving and this boy needs more competition to improve.  

  #1 Boys 10 & U 50 Yard Fly  35.19  1st Place
  #12 Boy 100 Yard IM  1:47.14  1st Place
  #15 Boy 50 Yard Free 40.70 1st Place


Team Pep Talk
and warm ups

Quick feet



Determination
The Downtown Las Vegas Girls Team were pretty tough and took control of the game.  They set the pace which takes our girls out of the comfort zone.  They played hard but couldn't get control back.  The score was tied for most of the game but DLWG were able to get one more in the goal before the whistle blew.  

This also happened to be the championship game completely by accident.  This was great news to parents no travel on Monday.

2nd Place, Runnerups

Both teams
Hopefully a rematch next year.

Full of smiles
and
only a little disappointed
These girls were good sports congratulating the other girls.  It's hard losing the game but even harder when it is the first lose as a team.  

Reganne begged for Subway for dinner and then the long drive home.  It was a great weekend full of sports and a lot of driving.  The girls have a couple weeks to rest up before the next tournament.
