A few days have passed and our season is over but I have to say we had a great time at the Championship Tournament.  The tournament is always well run and the teams are always fun to get to know.  Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition ruled the weekend.

Many thanks to Nick and all of the other volunteers.  Without ya'll the tournament would not work.  Personally, I believe all of Nick's students deserve A+ for the work that they put in.

One last thought, the weekend brought it all full circle for me personally. For our practice round, we lined up in Gold 1.  I started talking with the volunteer looking after Gold 1 (not one of Nick's students).  After we talked a bit, I thought I must know this young person.  I asked questions where he was from.  Turned out I did know him.  I coached him when he was in 4th and 5th grade.  He is now a junior at JMU.  Brought a smile to my face that he was giving back to the FLL community.

Congrats to all the teams that participated in the Championship Tournament, you are all winners.  A special shout out to the Division I and II teams that will be moving on to the World Festival, great job.
