They are a wonderful group of boys who are able to learn a new a play with great ease and are always willing to do whatever it takes to make the team better.. Some of these boys have been together since they were 5 years old they love the game and are always eager to play.. They are at practice rain or shine no matter the weather..

Winning the Super Bowl for 3 years now just shows what hard work, dedication, and determination each of these boys possess..
