This group played together and had a blast doing it. Had a real chance to make some noise this week, but circumstances are what they are. Bummed especially for Tahj, Kyle and Josh, but grateful for the legacy they leave. From Costa Rica to Hawaii to Worthen, it was a fun year.
There's been a lot of love for
@CoachMikeLewis

We had coach sit down to go through some of the awesome messages from Cardinal Nation!
