From Coach Edgerton:

It was a total team effort! This is without a doubt, one of the strongest, and hardest working teams I have been lucky enough to coach. Everyone stuck together the entire season, and through every level of competition. They stood by each other, and supported each other. Our goal from the start was to have fun first, make a friend, and if we’re lucky enough, maybe win. It was a good year!

I don’t think there was much luck involved – rather a ton of hard work, dedication and practice!
