Oahu For The Weekend!

Oahu sounds nice for memorial weekend doesnt it? Well I flew over to Oahu with a bunch of my fellow team mates and played in a soccer tournament in the Waipahu Soccer Complex, a nice, big and crisp piece of land dedicated to soccer perfect soccer fields. Andres and I stayed with with a host family, the Chun's. They were a very nice family and they child, my good friend Owen now, has great memories of the weekend he spent with Andres and I.

Now to the games. On Saturday, we played the Honolulu Bulls B team so they werent that good but put up a fair fight, the score was 4-0 and I got an assist. The second game was against our other team, not a B team but another supposed to be evenly matched team called Platinum. Us, Swoosh had much fun playing this team because all of them were are friends but sadly it ended up 3-0 with another victory for us! Monday however, we played the Honolulu Bulls A team, they were heavily stacked. They kept the ball away from us most of the game which frustrated us and in the middle of the second half, they scored. We tried our hardest to catch up but couldnt quite grasp ourselves another goal. Since this was the semi-finals, we were kinda bummed and with a 1-0 loss, we were satisfied because this is the 2nd best team in the state of Hawaii. 

During this trip, both my iPod and my phone broke so I currently have no electronics which bums me out...YAAWWPPSS

Soccer:Playoffs/Finals

  Well, alike to Douglas' post, we also won our first playoff game which was the semi-final against FC North Shore. But unlike Douglas, we sadly lost our final game again Keahi. The final score for our game was 1- 0 with the luck of Isaiah for Keahi. Isaiah is a very technical player and just almost outran our sweeper Michael. Isaiah was on the run and Michael was right besides him but Isaiah pulled himself forward but pulling on Michael's shoulder which gave him a little boost and he got a lucky shot on goal. I asked the side line referee after there was a heavy foul resulting in a yellow card, "Hey, did you see how Isaiah pulled Michael?" She replied,"It was actually Michael who pulled Isaiah." I was pretty astonished because she as totally wrong because I was running right besides the play as it happened. Once again, the refs cause us to lose.

Brothers Weekend

Well, our soccer team has advanced into the finals this Saturday against Keahi. Some of our players including me have been invited to go and play on Oahu with the other Rush (Our club) team for a tournament at the end of this month. We're gonna be home staying, so we will be split up and Oahu families will host us. 

Pretty much every day of the weekend, yes I know its only 2 days but, my brother and I played the Wii Play game called "Tanks." You pretty much just go around blowing up other tanks and advance through stages that get harder. We make a good team and the whole time we were playing, we were eating lots and lots of spicy chips! He kept on having to eat something sweet because he couldn't handle the spiciness!

Soccer Finalz

Soccer

Well, after a long game on Saturday vs Keahi, a westside team, we pull off a win and we(Kauai Rush North) wins 1-0 off of a very lucky goal. My friend/teammate in like about the last 3 minutes shot the ball that was rolling right to him, it bounces once, bounced twice and went over the goalie as I kind of shielded it away from him.  That was the last regulation game, now that we won, we're in the playoffs against FC NorthShore. 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd. We better do good because if we dont, our coach will snap!
