Aidan Thome also explains how he feel the team did for their first big tournament and he said.
” I think our team did very good for our first tournament we can go back in the room and make some small adjustments to continue to get better, we did very good for the small team we came in with and I’m exited for when we have the whole team.”
The team has very good potential. They are very young meaning, they could lead to something bigger and win more tournaments.

Aiden Thome and Matthew Abner were apart of the 2018 team and got to experience the CIF team and they feel that this team has what it takes to be the best team in the league and be able to regain the CIF Duel Meet championship.
