As for the tournament, well it was good, but came up short. They lost their 1st game . . . had a sub coach that didn't know the rotations and one of the defenders was in lala land . . . I would have pulled him early, but this guy didn't know who could play where. After that we one the rest of the games easily. The run was that the team we lost to, well it was their only win.

Just don't over do it as the mods can shut us down if it gets out of control. We don't want that.

a new Acura brother? Welcome to the club . . . so what color etc is your 02?
As for mods, we have pretty good range of extremes. Folks with sound, body, suspension, show and performance mods.
We'll need to have a quick get together some weekend real soon. Stay tuned.

93 and 95
I think the 93 could play for the Red team, but with his other committiments we chose a coach that is more easy going and won't punish him for missing a practice here and there.
The 95 is trying out for the Red team . . . he's got very good skills. The other day his coach was play in a scrimmage and my son had to go against him . . . the coach kept blocking him so he couldn't get a pass past him. Well the next time he did a rainbow, caught it with his right foot, tapped it up and headed the ball over the coach . . the coach just stared and said nothing.
