COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We were the youngest team in our ‘Major Division’ this season, but, they’re a remarkable group of talented boys. So, they wasn’t letting that stop them from setting big goals.
“…They wanted to be season & tournament champions. We told them it wasn’t going to be easy, they’d have to work hard for it. They done just that. Finishing 11-4 and as season and tournament champions!
“…It was a pleasure and honor to coach and watch them GROW as individuals and together as a TEAM. They (everyone) played the game hard, with class and sportsmanship. Plus they had a ton of FUN while doing so! They couldn’t have made us any prouder.
“…They’re a bunch of humble, kind hearted kids, who put God first in everything they do. We hate to see the season end, but are grateful for the memories made. We return all but 2 players next season.”
