Our enthusiastic Congratulations to our Lady Mustangs!! Back to Back Champs is an amazing record breaker and one which our community will wear proudly to encourage the next generation of Parks and Rec athletes. Charlie and I always gave credit for our daughters’ bball prowess to the thorough grounding and competitive environment in our local league they were blessed to experience from the age of eight forward. Way to build a dynasty, Howard and Danny , et al! Bravo to the Village of dedicated coaches who love, discipline and help to raise our children.

Kudos Carol for the recognition of the wonderful sports programs here in our Little City. Years of dedicated parents, kids, and management have really provided our children with learning the many life benefits of team competition. My daughter always looks back at the Rec & Parks games with a smile, and now has her own children involved because she knows how important it was for learning teamwork
and other skills besides basketball. Bravo, indeed and Carol said it brilliantly.
Way ta go gals!
