We spend a lot of time talking about process on this team—playing as hard as we can, combining our talents and staying connected—so these positive results can follow. We don’t take any championships for granted, but we have a bigger calling in mind for this season. Next up, Ridgefield, in Coaches vs. Cancer!”
