Sodium, Sodium, where for art thou...?

For those of you that saw the game, I need not say more. For those who weren't in attendance, ask a player. Whether it was the star alignment or what, Sodium forgot to show up for the championship game and got pounded by Leahi 96 Premier 4-0 for the runner up position.

For those girls who left the field crying from frustration and disappointment, I tip my hat, for you left everthing on the field and deserved more. For those who gave up, who wouldn't finish or hustle or run to the ball, I will address this in a later post.

As for the experience I have to say 'Thanks' to the parents who joined us, the outstanding job the coaches did, to the Sodium team who showed us they HAVE what it takes to make it to the 'Big Show'. The Nomad tournament was a building block. We came in, we played well, and we left winners. No other Oregon team lasted this long. With the exception of one, no other team played better and deserved to be there. For that, lady warriors, you can hold your heads up and be proud of your accomplishment.

A heartfelt thanks go out to visiting players Bailey and Bethany Hall for accepting the invitation last minute and playing well with your old friends. Thanks for wearing the badge of Black you've come to know and love one more time. [even if the uniforms are a little smaller now!] Best of luck to you in the coming season with WCFC and I'm sure we'll see you on the field again. Remember, you've always got a spot on the roster and a place in our hearts.

Next up we have a road trip to Bend to play OR Rush, then on to State Cup.

We are proud of you Sodium, keep working hard, Lancaster is just down the road...

GO SODIUM!
