A couple of years ago the city of Bellingham tried to get the state soccer tournament here, and part of the reason we didn't get it was the facilities. Hopefully we'll have a better chance to bring those kinds of events here now.

It was expected the way both teams played in the first half, after the delay and one team sitting on a bus for an hour.

It's great for the community and great for the kids. It's an opportunity to let them sleep in their own beds, and that helps in competition.
