WE DID IT! The amount of adversity this team's faced this year can't be explained. So proud of what they've been able to accomplish in such a short time.

Also huge shout out to our coach @justBEKwith who's done so much for us this season.

LET'S GO VIKES!

My boy graduated last night, proud of this kid! 2nd honors, 1st team all conference in lacrosse, and captained the high school esports team to qualify for states.

Glad he's not going far, playing Overwatch for us at CSU in the Fall!
