Of all the comments on this thread I find this one to be the one leaving me scratching my head. Why did 447 deserve it less?

What is most important however is that this season, being my son and I's first year, was absolutely amazing. To see what the kids on 447 accomplished firsthand and what all the teams accomplished from event to event was just awesome. While it would have been great to make World's, the journey is what is the most important.

I have enjoyed watching the problem solving, team work, strategy meetings, and execution by all of the teams this year. The willingness for one team to help another, even if they may face them in later matches, brings joy to my heart and tells me there is still good in this world.

Best of luck to all the teams representing Indiana at World's. We had a great run and I am proud of what our kids accomplished. It's not always about whether you win or lose, but how you play the game that matters. I know our kids put everything they had into the process and I am sure the other teams did as well.

See you all in off season events and again next year for a new game!
