They just wanted it so bad, and I wanted it more. You know, after everything that happened last year, I wanted it. A little bit of this goes toward those kids. - Ben Stroud



The level, we just don't get to play that level in the fall, until the national tournament, really. And it's fun. The kids look forward to playing that and it raises their level a lot. The kids really get a lot out of that. I think our team really grows in the spring. - Ben Stroud
