Thanks again to all of our parents who came out to Strongsville to cheer on the girls and to the Cusimanos for expertly having our beat up old tent ready by the time the team arrived. Also to the Britton family who hosted the Thursday night pasta potluck and to all of the parents who contributed.
The Rockets will be at the Vermilion Invitational next Saturday(October 1).
