    Congratulations to you girls, You have nothing to be ashamed of, your still young and have more seasons ahead of you. Your a lot like my team over here in Mississippi, your young, but if you play together like you have this year, you’re gonna win. Congrats again.

    You girls and Coach Watson made my day. Seeing your class, hard play and determination to leave it all on the field made all us Royals very proud. Hold your heads high and know we could not be prouder of such a team of winners as you.
