Jack, I couldn't agree with you more! FSN will be a great resource in the future. Adam has created a really nice piece of software, but like any database, it requires data. This data only comes from people collecting it during matches and then uploading it to the server. I hope this tool doesn't loose any momentum during the off season, only gains more!

This is why I am so proud of our team. This was a very difficult season for us. We may have set a goal that was a little too high. (I firmly believe in teaching these kids to reach for a higher goal, otherwise they could learn to be satisfied with mediocrity.) They didn't give up and ended up with a very respectable placement standing in the end.
