thank you to first, my team from last year, who believed in
our plan and philosophy and were rewarded with the ultimate
honor. Next, the players parents, who committed considerable
time and effort to our cause. Additionally, I want to thank my
coaching staff who offered so much of their time, talents and
knowledge every day of the season. As everyone knows,
our sport is expensive and last year we were overwhelmed
with the financial support from our local businesses, alumni
and individuals. Lastly, I want to say thank you to all Zephyrs’
