  • Camaraderie, said Coach Sean Davidson, is a major contributor to the team’s success. “We have solid defense, offensive power, and speed on the base paths ….,” he said. “On top of that, it’s amazing how well the kids all get along and all support each other. These kids really are friends in addition to teammates. It’s like a never-ending series of multi-night sleepovers once school gets out.”
