Wins have been hard to come by, but memories created will last forever. State Finals in Wilson NC to Regionals in Austin TX & Nationals in Nashville TN. SO much to be proud of. In time the medal color will be unimportant and memories made along the way will be cherished by all.

Bronze medal game between our Rapids & Pennsylvania is underway. Nothing better than a 7:00am start!

25 mins: Rapids down 1-0

Half time and still 1-0. All to play for in the final half at Nationals. Very even game, the post hasn’t been our friend this week!

A second goal and the game is almost over. A great effort from the team just comes up a little short. 5 mins left.
