We would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has reached out asking about the four young women on our team who were hit head on by a drunk driver yesterday! GOD is good and was watching over them yesterday as they escaped without serious injury! Hug and love those close to you!
As promised,
@CoachSansom
donated $111.00 dollars today to the Grove City Community Food Pantry. He gave $1.00 for each point scored in the previous games. The food pantry was robbed last week and he wanted to do his part to make sure a family didnโt go hungry this Thanksgiving!
Congratulations to our Head Coach
@CoachSansom
and his now wife
@ERosplock
on their wedding this past Saturday! Mrs. Sansom looked BEAUTIFUL and weโre excited to have her OFFICIALLY as our team MOM!
Weโre happy to announce a HUGE โhiringโ today with the addition of Lucan Scott Sansom as Head Ball Boy! We look forward to having Lucan as part of our program!
A great trip into New York City tonight with our team and some of our parents! Glad to report Mr. Walker in an all out sprint made the train back to NJ with us! Laughs, smiles and memories thatโs what the journey is about!
