My team played in the annual soccer tournament this weekend. Instead of seeding the tournament based on regular season results, the league commissioner set up the brackets based on a random drawing. So even though we finished as one of the top teams, we didn't get a first round bye.
The tournament was at Tommy Schumpert Park which is a new park in north Knoxville with three lit fields. It's a really awesome complex that also has a baseball field and dog park. A 2+ mile greenway ends at the park as well. There are plans to add a disc golf course, 2 mile cross country trail, and bmx course. Brian and Carter game to two of my games and walked on the greenway and watched the dogs at the dog park.
We played our first game on Friday night at 8:15pm and won 4-1. We played two games on Saturday - the first was at 10:30am (won 5-0) and the second was at 4:30pm (won 6-1). We played in the championship game this afternoon. We were tied 3-3 at the end of regulation. We went straight to penalty kicks in overtime. Both our team and our opponent made 4 of the 5 shots so we went to sudden death. The other team scored their first shot and unfortunately the other team's goalie blocked our first shot, so we lost. This was the second straight year our team finished as runners-up.
We get a few weeks off and start up fall session in the middle of September.
