All three teams won the State Championship in their brackets. Players and coaches from the championship teams joined Mayor DeMaria in the Council Chamber at City Hall to receive citations in recognition of their achievement. Following the presentations, the players and coaches were invited to enjoy pizza and refreshments.

“It’s always a pleasure to talk to and get to know the youth of our city and hear their ideas and opinions on many different subjects,” said Mayor DeMaria. “They were a very impressive group, and I’d like to thank all of the coaches and parents that attended and for their time and effort in guiding these young athletes on their journey to the championship.”
