  The second day of heavy rain in the Vail Valley wreaked havoc on the Shootout. The U-19 Girls Gold bracket semi-finals were moved to Sunday morning. The youth Chumash tournament canceled its afternoon games and the U-19 boys 3:00pm games finished well after 6:00pm.
In the Grandmasters (50 and over) championship game the Eldest Statesmen were victorious for the fourth year in a row. The men from Hobart are now a combined 12-0 in Grandmasters play since the inception of the division. The Statesmen outscored their opponents 36-11 this year, dominating in every game they played.
The semi-finals of the Supermasters division were both heavily lopsided games. Last year’s champions, C2C Magic Wands defeated Millennium / Rock-it Pocket by four goals, and look to repeat as Supermasters Champions. In the second semi-final the Eldest Statesmen ran over Yellowdog 20-6. Tomorrow the Supermasters championship will take place in Ford Park at 12:30pm.
In the Dr. Tom Watts Memorial U-19 Boys High School Boys Showcase, the local boys, Team Colorado won a thrilling overtime game over Brady’s Bunch to advance to the Championship game. In the other semi-final FCA easily dispatched Laxachusetts 11-4, to return to the championship game for the second time in two years.
In the U-19 Girls High School Gold Bracket, only half the games were played today. Heros 2013, Team 180, Team HLA and Puget Sound Select moved onto the semi-finals which will be played at 7:00am on Edwards.
Results for Friday 7/6
Dr. Tom Watts Memorial U-19 High School Boys Showcase
Division 1 Championship Semi-Finals – Avon 1 (East)
Team Colorado 10, Brady’s Bunch 9
Colorado’s hustle and intensity led to an early lead and a one-goal halftime edge. They imploded in the third quarter with eight penalties and an early release that cost a critical possession. Colorado regained their composure and were tied with 13 seconds remaining after a team goal rebounding off of the pipe and the Colorado goalie on a defensive pass. Jackson Arnold had the game winner in overtime with 45 seconds left. Overall, it was a great semi-final effort by both teams.
FCA 11, Laxachusetts 4
FCA will return to the championship game after a solid team effort against Laxachusets. FCA had seven different goal scorers, and were able to take advantage of the sub-par playing conditions possessing the ball and dominating ground balls.
