Back on track - 4 in a row

After a major upset loss in Odessa on Dec. 20 by a score of 6-0, the Laredo Bucks won 2 consecutive games at home the following two nights, against the Austin Ice Bats, and then, after Christmas, traveled to Prescott Valley, Arizona and commandeered another 2 wins, the second by shootout, with Rane Carnegie scoring the deciding goal.

It was a match-up of the top two division leaders of the Southern Conference. The Sundogs lead the Southwest division with 40 points, while the Bucks lead the Southeast with 46. In an ultimate test of strength, our boys prevailed.

Pure talent and determination ruled in Arizona. Both teams were energized and driven to not let each other win. A true Southern showdown ---

Here are some photos from the last two home games against the Austin Ice Bats. Tomorrow, the last game of 2007 will be played at the LEC against the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees with a traditional New Year's Eve celebration to follow after the game.

I am looking forward to seeing their New Year's jerseys, which will be auctioned off after the game. If the fabulous Christmas jerseys were any indication of future specialty jerseys, then tomorrow night's jerseys will no doubt be a hit. Their third jersey is equally fantastic.
