As always, CIS will be ready for the State Tournament. We do have a few surprises to unleash.
I will say, it is humbling to read some of these posts. We know how hard we work to be a good team - but sometimes it feels as if we are in our own world out here in the potato fields of Central MN.
And yes, defense is our thing - it has been since 2013. We like to joke that we were the best defensive team of 2015.
For those that don't know - we were over 84" long and didn't move for most of our first 8 matches at North Star in 2015. We heard the groan from other teams that were allied with us. For 8 rounds our drive team would hear the FTA announce to his radio "bypass 4607". We returned 3 of the 4 members of that drive team and it is now a running joke for CIS.
Good luck to all - see you on Friday night!

I was queuing North Star, and your drive team approached each match with the same gracious professionalism and hopefulness. They were great to interact with then and again this year. See you Saturday.
