“This will be another new tournament for this team against a championship-type field. We only have two tournaments left before championship season and the storms of the regular season make you stronger. Our goal is to keep finding out what gives us peace in our quest and staying focused each day. We are growing as a team, and this will be another great opportunity to take a step forward to being the team we know we can be. We can all be better if we continue to demand more of ourselves and each other.”
