Rocky Mountain High

To quote (with a twist) the immortal words of the late, great John Denver, "RSL was born in the summer of it's 4th year. Coming home to a place they'd never been before. They left yesterday behind them, you might say they were born again. You might say they found the key to every door."
Real has come home to a place they've never been before. That place: First place. RSL also proved they left yesterday behind them. In an eerily familiar scenerio, Real found themselves giving up a late goal in last week's game. The RSL of yesterday would have settled for a disappointing tie, but this "born again" team would have none of it. Justice was served when Robbie Findley slide-slotted the ball into the onion bag in the 87th minute to seal the win. The better team is supposed to win, and that's what happened. Finally. Now, Real has found the key to winning at home, but the door to winning on the road remains locked and deadbolted. The coming weeks will be loaded with road games. It will be a "rocky mountain" to climb all the way to the top. Hopefully Real can ride this "high. " R.I.P. John Denver....R.I.P.
