All of their hard work and dedication paid off. During awards I sat there in complete shock and my eyes filled with tears thinking of all the hours of practice, the yelling, the bruises, the overnight practices till 8:30am and the LOVE these girls have for this team and for each other. I said it from day one and I\u2019ll say it again, this team has something special! I\u2019m so glad everyone got to see it at competition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
