These are the things we want our speakers to remember:

1. We can win if we work smart enough and hard enough.

2. We can win if we put the needs of the team ahead of our own self-interest.

3. We can win if we are constantly improving, and there are *always* ways to improve.

Congratulations to the state qualifiers, and thank you to everyone else for a great season.

We will be champions if we remain dedicated.

We will be champions if we keep our singular focus on our goals.

We will be champions if we hold each other accountable to our commitments.

We will be champions if we choose to put in championship effort.

This is the second team 1st place trophy we have taken this year, and it is only possible thanks to the hard work and dedication of all of our speakers.
