High-fiving, hug-giving, dog-piling, and chest-bumping good time!!!

PQ Cup

The Vipers entered the end of season tournament with an undefeated record, but stepped on the field a little flat through the first morning of tournament play.  They dug a pretty deep hole with a 2-3 loss (Orange Crushers) and 2-2 tie (Red Rockets) in the first 2 games.  

In the first game, the goalie from the Crushers, Beaux, had an MVP performance when he stuffed a rapid succession of a dozen shots from the Vipers in the last 5 minutes of the 2nd half and then punted over the entire Viper team to setup the winning goal and close the game.  Beaux completely controlled the outcome of that game.  

It's tough to watch your son and his team lose, but it's awesome to watch a young kid step up, demonstrate excellence, and dominate on the pitch.  I tip my hat to Beaux for such an inspiring performance.
