‘LEAGUE COMMENTS
“… It was amazing to watch the comradery pick up right where it left off last year. This league was began in order to develop relationships within the community and to spread the love of Christ outside of the walls of a church.” That’s exactly what we are seeing. Everyone competed in a healthy, respectful manner. We want to thank everyone who volunteered to help, those who played, and those who came to watch. We appreciate you. We also want to thank Louisa East Elementary School and the Board of Education for being so accommodating.”
