The team proved successful in Slippery Rock, they will advance to the National Finals to be held in July of this summer. There are 4 teams that make the finals, with Elite 98 being one.
This trip is posing a financial burden on some families to the point that some players may not be able to make the trip. The team is requesting financial support to help the entire team make the trip. If there is any way possible that to provide support to team to enable them to reach the national competition it would mean the world to the coaching staff and group of fine young men.
