Supernationals, round 1 and 2

I recently played in the U.S. national scholastic tournament, and figured as my quality of play would generally be highest here (2 hours per player, so I have plenty of time to think) I would post all seven of my games. But I didn't want to post all seven in one topic (that would slow your computer down and I would get bored doing seven in one day, and you would likely get bored looking at them) so here are the first two. The first is a simple (compared to most) win against a 1200 and in the other a 2000 beat me in 30 moves with the Ruy. It's the second I need the most advice on.

15 g4: allows him to mount a huge pawn attack on your king side and it traps your knight to either h7 or d7 which are good places for your knight in this scenario, how'd did you end up doing at nationals? check out my game in the game anaylyzer, i put it up as scandenavian defence. I went 3-3-1 down there

Don't worry about people with higher ratings.  I was 1400 at Nationals and beat a 2200.
