Open Cup

The third weekend in April, Ben's team played in the Open Cup in Decatur.  DC Galaxy from Southaven and Collierville Lobos were both there.  Ben saw several familiar faces including Leland from his Predators team.  I wouldn't have recognized him.  He used to be blond.  Also, while he was on the field a player from Galaxy asked, "Ben, is that you?"  His name was Eli and he was in Ben's grade at NorthPoint.  I created a huge pad for Ben's cast so that he could play.  I bought a faucet cover from Lowe's, cut it to the correct size, added extra quilt batting, and then sewed elastic in both ends.  We put black elastic straps around it to make it less puffy.  The team called him Baymax from Big Hero Six.  They finished second in the tournament behind Huntsville's United team.
