It was all such a cool experience especially since it was one of my goals and was my first and last time there cause i know not many people get this opportunity especially to win so I’m blessed all glory to God cause ik I wouldn’t be able to do it without Him”

“I feel like we’ve all evolved a lot. At the beginning of the year, we were just putting our heads down and working hard just to be able to make it into the playoffs. We knew we had a good team, buy it’s just the matter of us working well together. Looking back I’d say we’ve done a great job at that.”
