Can't say enough about how the younger guys stepped up as we played in the older division at the nationals with Justin, Adonis and Daauwd. The guys truly stepped up there, and they were competitive with top Division I teams. This has also been the best group of guys that we've ever had on one team. They have truly been a team! Way to go, gentlemen!!! Great job at the nationals in Charleston, and the Georgia Games before that. The top teams in our pool finished 1st, 3rd & 8th in the country.
