25-968-195 furnish the master link to help out ...
Win or lose now... they are winners...
You three teams (25-968-195) need to look back on that decision and see what it really meant...remember it the REST of your lives... You had a great alliance and played extremely well but THAT action showed me who you all are inside...and you are pretty special in my book...
Those that taught you along the way deserve great praise...don't forget to thank them for helping you to become the incredible young men and women you have become....
NOWHERE but FIRST... the value of Gracious Professionalism...
I mean no disrespect to our fine Championship Alliance Winners here...
(296-522-217)you guys were great and performed incredibly, both on the field and off...
but my champions on that Saturday were 25-968-195

I really enjoyed seeing that, too.
What makes it even better: this kind of GP between competitors happens more often than non-FIRSTers might expect. There was a very similar incident during the GTR finals.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
