Imagine the league's surprise when 95 Nationals won, not just one, but all BUT one game taking them to the playoffs! Our boys played with such heart and determination. I never saw that team give up, even when they were behind. They always gave 100% every. single. game. Coach chose well!
Playoffs were so exciting! They won the first game leaving them to face the team that beat them in the regular season for the title of CHAMPIONS! Scott and I were SO disappointed that the championship game was scheduled for the same time as the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. Honestly, had we not invited Scott's parents up for the ball, we would have just gone really late and gone to the game. Fortunately, UB, Aunt Shannon, 2 girl cousins, Andrew, Kevin and my parents were here to attend and cheer the Falcons on to a HUGE VICTORY!!!!
Poor Sam's Victory Post was lost in the shuffle of leaving for China. Since I use this blog mostly to document our lives for our own posterity, I KNEW I needed to include this hard fought and well deserved victory! The following are some shots my sister got of the big game!!! She did mostly video so we mostly have before and after:)
