We’re from a small town and had a very small roster. We competed every step of the way and gained a lot of respect from people who saw us play. In Reno we finished third in a 24 team tournament before losing to San Leandro. We swept our District Tournament with teams from the Valley and held our own in Fairfield. Nobody played harder than we did. The boy’s did a great job” Thanks for the coverage this summer, Steve Robertson
