We are so thankful for the opportunity we had to celebrate our championship win with city counselor Erick Hernandez. We are thankful for him and Minneola city council for all of their help and support. We would also like to thank Lil' Anthony's Pizza for the great food and for having us.

Team 4065, in all our… what, 15 years? Has never even won a regional. This year, during SMR, we came as close to victory as I ever thought we would.

Going into worlds for the first (and for us seniors, only) time, we weren’t expecting much. “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if HighTide said hi?” Little did we know that they, along with Madtown, would end up choosing us as their third. US! And what a wonderful rollercoaster that followed.

We’ve faced dozens of crushing losses, but all of them turn obsolete in the face of this one big win. I am stunned, and so so incredibly proud of my team. It has been an honor to photograph you all over the last three years of my life, and I’d do it all over a hundred times in a heartbeat.

Once again; , , and , we cannot tell you how grateful we are. It was a such a pleasure meeting, talking, and winning with you all. After all these years of competition, we finally have something to show for it. From the bottom of all our hearts- thank you.

Don’t stop believing.
