Chaos! U14 President's CupWA State champions 2008

Warming up after the game - it was incredibly COLD

Before the game - up against the greater Renton area team. Soccer should never be played in the snow!

Before the state championship - they are obviously stressed out and concentrating on getting their mind on the game. Not.
