Second-place champions.
Ahem. This is getting old, right? However, CAVS 13U played up against 14U teams this past weekend at the 4th Annual Edge Christmas Tourney, December 10th-11th, 2011 at California High School in Whittier, CA. To be playing UP, they really didn’t do too bad considering football is still going on for many (who couldn't finish out the tournament) and the entire group hasn’t been on their usual training grind just yet. In fact...not much gym time has transpired at all.
It’s probably why the 1st Place championship title slipped from their hands by only one point. Why? We’ll get there.
Here we go.
On Saturday at 9:15 am, CAVS met the 14U Prodigy Team center court and worked their way into a 49-28 victory.
At 11:15, CAVS 13U battled 14U Edge Black and defeated them, 45-19.
On Sunday, the battle was on, as CAVS 13U met up once again with the 14U Southeast Warriors.
Last season, they stomped it out with the Warriors as 12U and it was quite a time. Let’s just say the older Warrior boys weren’t too happy about the loss to “the younger guys” then and they certainly weren’t, today, either. "Tensions" were high.....and that’s exactly what was most apparent in the semi-final game. However....CAVS 13U scored the win, 53-25, anyway, placing them right into the championship game. WOOT!

It would all go down against the 14U Impact team at 1:00pm.
Boy…was there a battle!
The score was 26-16 (CAVS up) one moment and 41-38 (Impact up) the next. It was a tug-of-war, tit-for-tat-kind of game. Finally, the clock ran out with Impact up, 47-46.
GAME OVER.
All by one measly point. That just sucks, doesn't it?
Eh…it is what it is. Isn't that the general expression conveyed in this photo?
For the two teams that just happened to win by 1-2 points this season....better enjoy all this now. There are gonna be quite a few "surprises" coming down the pike....gift-wrapped and hand-delivered...all from CAVS 13U.
CAVS 2012...U Ready? GAME ON!!
