"Another great experience for the boys to play teams outside of our regular conference and be tested and seen on the national stage" said Alex Cardenas, Academy Director.  "There was a huge amount of college coaching staff inquiring about our players and sitting on the sidelines to review the talent.  A very worthwhile event in providing further exposure for our prospective student-athletes."
