heartbreaker

Ryan's team played their first and only tournament game on Tuesday. Obviously, from the title, you know what happened -- they lost. I'm pretty sure there were a few tears shed. They played a hard game and in the last minute and a half were ahead by 5. Then as luck would have it, the refs made some poor calls and we lost by 1 point. Yep, blaming it on the refs. We made our mistakes too, but the refs failed to call an important "ball carry" call on the other team. I thought some of our parents were going to lose it -- we are normally a very quiet and well mannered group -- but that about put us over the edge. I have to hand it to Ryan's coach though, he was calm and collected about the whole thing and praised the kids for a job well done, despite the loss. It's been a fun season and we hated to see it end so soon. Ryan's team is finishing up the season with a pizza party tonight and a Jazz game later this month.
