A huge “Thank you” to the Team Managers, Parents and Family members, and fans. We cannot express what it sincerely means for all your hard work, support, time and dedication.
The members of the Krunch, Coaches, Managers and players would also like to give Thanks and recognition to our trainer, Mr. Joe Francis. Without you Joe, we don’t know what we would have done. Hats off to you, for travelling to Florida and being there with us, taking care of us!
Even though our teams did not come home with a championship our teams all played at their best abilities and skill. They played smart, hard and fought till the end for each win or even loss. They all showed great respect and pride representing their teams and for the love of their game. We cannot wait until next year’s tournament and hope that we have the support that you all!
