I’m beyond grateful to be playing with such talented teammates and coaches and I can’t wait to see where this season takes us!”

We have a group of kids that love the game, love each other and are straight competitors between the lines. We obviously have a target on our back since winning PGF this summer, but it doesn’t phase them. They block out the noise and continue to play for each other.”
