Congrats, 10U Nationals

The West University 10U Nationals went undefeated in their district and sectionals run and battled their way to the East Texas State Championships, where they earned third place overall. From May through July, the hardworking 10-year-olds put in daily practices and grinded through weekend tournaments. The boys were led by manager Ben Guez and coaches Matt Rovelli and Collin Salisbury. Their families and friends were a huge support system every step of the way, cheering them on to the final moment. Pictured (back row, from left) are Coach Collin Salisbury, Team Manager and Head Coach Ben Guez, Coach Matthew Rovelli; (front row, from left) players Brooks Keller, Everett Wangler, Jake Bingham, Peter Volf, Mitchell Gaston, Walter Carroll, Miles Guez, Jake Rovelli, Kendrick Leung, William Kleine, Brady Salisbury, and NJ Dingmann.
