Same Rope; Same Direction

Ok so maybe its a biased observation ... but ...

I have yet to see another team in the United States at the U-16 level that is as complete a TEAM in terms of its speed, skill, toughness, and chemistry all the way through its ENTIRE ROSTER as our team.

Its taken about 1/3 of the season to gel and get on the same page with each other, but starting with our dismantling of a very good Richmond Hill team at the Nike Bauer Tournament, then carrying over to two impressive league victories over Little Caesars and Victory Honda, its become clear that we're finally all pulling on the same rope - in the same direction.

If the type of disciplined, intelligent, and unselfish team play we've displayed in our last three games not only continues, but intensifies, there is no doubt we have the POTENTIAL to become a great team and win the MWEHL, Michigan State, and U.S. National Championships.

Let us consider the limited time that we have together as a team and use it wisely with diligence and foresight, and whatever these days ahead bring to us, may they bring forth the best that is in us.
