Ah, sweet victory...


The tournament season has officially begun, and yes, those are first-place trophies the girls are holding. Mia's tournament team, Burbank Fire (GU-14), launched its season in fine style this past weekend at the highly competitive Myles Standish Thanksgiving Tournament in Pasadena. Their "beautiful game" of quick passes, ball control, and smart strategy left all their opponents in the dust.

Ron and I have taken upon ourselves the job of stats-keeping this season. This is mostly to prevent family arguments later ("No, the score in the Saugus game was 4-0." "No, it was 3-1." "Was not!" "Was too!"). But it's fun to see how the stats turn out. Total goals scored in this tournament: 16. Goals scored against: 1. And the best statistic of all: eight different players scored.

Go Fire! You know!

Congrats Miriam!! Wish we could come and see you kick butt, but we will have to settle for the Blog updates this year. Your cousins are impressed - at least as impressed as they can be at 4, 3 and 3 months old. Your uncle is super proud and hoping Daniella has similar genes flowing through her feet!
