Ok, time for the "proud papa" comment:
2 x top 10 at Nats is amazing (with 2 more years in this age group!) But more importantly, you are developing into a true "class" player. Your loss in swiss didn't leave you grumbling or whining, and you remained upbeat after being eliminated by the eventual tournament champion. Even when you saw that you had missed Hawaii by 2 spots (basically, 1 more win) your overall attitude was that of a true sportsman. The pokeparents out there will understand this; the players may not....but by coming so close and NOT getting in and demonstrating true SOG the whole way through......wow, you are a heck of a kid!!!!
Now let's go shred some more skittys.......
