• A huge thank you to our incredible coaches — Jon Borlin, Jennifer Miller, Mari Seper, Leslie Koth, Bob, Amanda Lutz, and Scott Davis — and to every parent and supporter who believed in the impossible.
• Special shout-out to Vinson McNamee for his selfless determination, playing through pain to help his team achieve greatness.

⭐ Congratulations, State Champions — you’ve proven once again there are truly no limits! ⭐
