Re: Team 1717 retires
Dang...

For so many years competing with and against 1717.. It will be hard to imagine going to regional events without them. I remember their rookie year... seeing this amazing team coming out of nowhere to get rookie inspiration in 2006. Then we teamed with them in 2007 and became regional finalists. We knew there was something great with this team... and we were right!!! From then on every year either we(294) ended up teaming with them or playing against them in the regional eliminations.. (usually in the finals).

What a great team. I will miss the intensity and the amazing students they brought year in and year out. The LA area will definitely miss you 1717...
