We sure could use Brasilboy to the rescue! Wish I could be there JB! However, I am currently enjoying some beautiful weather in the Caribbean on a family vacation! Looks like it has been another great tournament - I will be back to ring in the new year and report some more games before back up to NY for college!

Times-Pic:
The 31st annual St. Paul's Holiday Classic soccer tournament kicked off on Friday and James Summerlin will have the championship game covered at 7 p.m. tonight.
Sometimes they have Twitter coverage on nola.com - if I'm around I will try to put a link (or someone else can check)....

Passing the baton to awesome goalieguy again! Tough posting in the rain.
SPS awarded pk for being clipped from behind as he drove in box w/ball. SPS #16 puts away easy pk, goalie diving wrong direction.

Just kidding on the baton pass. He would rather be umbrella guy.
AHS goalie very brave coming out to left edge of box on one play & way out of center of box on another play to clear another close call where a SPS & AHS player were battling for possession as the ball was heading toward box.

AHS coach and parents very unhappy. I hope this doesn't turn ugly.

AHS players & coach & fans are losing it out there since player red carded. Play is aggressive out there.
Fans warned by SPS tourney administrator Trevor Watkins to settle down & watch language.
SPS #25 shot from 20yd out directly to gk.

Yes the AHS fans were very unsportsmanlike during the semi against St. Louis. I can see it easily getting out of control

AHS #7 jeers/sarcastically applauds refs as they come back on field (both teams were in position waiting to start 2nd half even though half hadn't even been 10min). Need to keep their heads focused on game & not give up. It's only 1-0 right now!

AHS #24 leads w/forearm against SPS player & lucky not called penalty.
Soon after, AHS gk earns yc for taking down SPS player attacking in box from left side instead of going after ball. Pk awarded & the backup gk makes killer save for AHS!

AHS keeper comes out to get the ball and misses the ball to take out the player. Keeper is given yellow card. Another PK is given. #9(?) takes the shot but PK is saved by the diving backup keeper. Great save!
Corner goes out for a goal kick.
