Team 85!
You are an awesome team! The grace and dignity that you carried yourselves over the weekend was awe-inspiring! I knew Steve, and I can tell you that he would have been very proud of all of you!
Reading the Woodie Flowers Award Friday night ... it took all I had to keep my composure. Being able to ask the entire team and Steve's brother, Tony to come down and get the award was an incredible experience for me.
As for the finals ... I too, wanted that championship more than you can imagine. It was in 1999, that 71, 27 and 85 played in Chicago and won a championship there ... Steve was the coach with me. I had hoped to repay the favor - by giving him one more this weekend! The only thing we can say at this time is, "sorry".
Your drive team did a fantastic job! Troy - you are an amazing coach. I enjoyed greatly working with you as the "head coach"! And your robot is also awesome! Thank you for selecting us to play with such an incredible team.
Team 910 ... thank you for playing OUTSTANDING defense! You, too were the best!
Thanks to all ... I had told my drivers I wanted to be the last one on the field ... I guess I set my goals a little low ... next time it is the last one on the field WITH THE GOLD!
