      Will this team be together again for 2013? Will they be 18u? Sounds like a very successful season, I hope they continue into next year.

      Stein, Willett, & Satchwell would have to play 18u. The rest are all good for another year of 16u. As far as next year, it will depend on how tryouts for some of the girls go. Some are trying out for the Cincy Doom and other teams to get more exposure, so time will tell.

      Would love to see them together again next year in some capacity. This was truly a GREAT group of young ladies who enjoyed playing the game every weekend, as well as, hanging out together.

      That team needs to stay together, or the majority of it does.

      There are plans in motion to possibly put together a 16u team together for next summer. Working on the details now. Will keep everyone posted.
