First, I want to say how proud I am of the kids that came out and put it all on the line. This team put in a lot of hours of hard work to prepare for this tournament. Fargo is a grind, and they showed a lot of toughness out here. There is no other tournament like it in the country. They came together as team and supported each other till the end. I couldn't be more proud of them. Second, I want to thank the parents that came out to watch & support the kids. The Quiocho's, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Best, Mr. Bradbury, and Mrs. Windland. They supported us throughout the week, ran errands, & made gatorade for the kids. It was truly appreciated by everyone. I couldn't have asked for better parents out here. Third, I'd like to thank the following individuals for helping with the training camps: Chris Way, Matt Littleton, Danny Irwin, Danny Felix, Rob Archer, Ken Maisel, and Mitchell Port. Your time was greatly appreciated to helping these young men. Lastly, I want to thank Coach Dempsey & Coach Symons. They have volunteered their time & energy to help make WV better. They were constantly helping the kids & always at their side when they needed them. From running the workouts to running across the FargoDome within minutes of matches ending. I couldn't have asked for better people to help coach.

Thanks,
Steve Riner

What a week. Thank you coaches for your time and efforts. I enjoyed watching the kids. Hopefully more kids will have the oppurtunity to go.

I will do my best to keep pushing FS/GR through the Panhandle or North. I know Coach Burlingame and Symons have dedicated a ton of time to promoting FS/GR. Will work closely with Coach Burlingame to have a 2nd Panhandle tournament, willing to bring a bunch of kids south or west for a Team WV clinic or maybe host the coaches up here. Will be in touch.

Thanks again for everything!
