Congratulations to Coach Thomas and his staff. This is a team with a great mix of talent and energy that has had a great season. Hope a fair number of folks can make the trip to Robinson on Saturday to cheer them on as they seek to head back to Richmond and another shot at the State championship.
Congratulations, ladies!
