Diamonds Win Silver in A Division of Goal Digger
Dec 9, 2007-The Black Diamonds lost in the finals of the A Division of the Goal Digger Tournament to Jackson Hole, 7-2, whom they had beat the day before 3-2. Other game scores included a 6-2 win over the Sun Valley Sunsets on Saturday, the 8th and a close loss, 5-4 to the Lady Grizz on Friday night.
Coach Bob Devaney stated, "Sometimes it doesn't all work out. We lost in the finals to a very good team that we had beaten earlier in the tournament. The A division has parity - any one of the teams could have won.
We fell behind early in the game, but did not throw in the towel and kept plugging away. Nice; it's easy to do the opposite.
May I remind you that several years ago we were just trying to stay close in the B division. Better to go down in a close game in A, than win easily in the B division. And also remind you how well you did in the game against the Predators last week. You looked around the dressing room and did not see the traditional players that usually made the difference, you had to do it yourselves and guess what, you did.
There were a lot of good things that happened this weekend and we should not lose sight of that."
