Congratulations to the U11 boys (with help from a number of U10s) who made it to the championship at the Euclid Tournament, despite being moved up to the U12 division. The team went undefeated (4-0) in pool play before losing to Mentor's U12 in the championship 8-4.

Coached by Kyle Gisser and Todd Griffith, the boys fell behind 4-0 in the final, but closed to 5-3 before Mentor eventually took control. Congratulations to the boys on a great effort!
