Waterford District

[Kettering]

As lead mentor and drive coach for 3098, I couldn't be happier with the outcome of this tournament. I knew it was going to be a tough getting to the finals, and once we got there, it was going to be REALLY hard to win the it. Once we officially got into the finals, I talked to my drive team and told them to play hard, have fun, and do something that hasn't been done before, aka the double triple balance.

Two matches later, I can easily say that was the best way to lose in the finals. I know that my team (and probably the rest of our alliance) still had smiles from ear to ear from the double triple.

Thanks again to everyone who participated at Waterford. It looks like all the planning and prep paid off and we hope to host it again next year with 2612! Congrats to 67, 469, 2851 on the win and our alliance of 573 and 3601 for making it to the finals and providing some great entertainment, I'd also like to thank all the volunteers, judges, and all the teams that packed the stands. It was a GREAT event!
