鈥淲hat a great performance by my young team. Most of our team is new to timber sports and I couldn鈥檛 be any prouder of how much they have grown in such a short period of time. They competed versus more experienced teams and held their own. I can鈥檛 wait to see how the rest of the spring season goes.鈥
