We played in the premier bracket against some really tough teams from Tennessee. We went to this tournament in the hopes of facing the #1 team from Tennessee in our age group from the host club TNFC in the finals. Their coach contacted us last year in the fall and personally invited us to come play them. We could not fit it into our schedule last fall but decided to go to their spring 2011 tournament. We played great in the pool play and were set to play them in the final but the tournament was cancelled due to rain before the finals. Since we did not get to play them last spring, we decided to head back down there again this fall. We actually got to play against them this time in the semi finals and beat them to advance to the finals. We then played against the Lobos from Memphis who after playing them once in pool play and again in the finals, I am pretty sure they will now be the new U12 TN State Champions. We battled them the whole 60 minutes but came up short in a 2-1 loss. the final game was played very well by both teams. Both teams played with control and possession. It was a great game to coach and be part of!
