Kicking our way to greatness! 🏆
In one week we fielded a team and began playing. Thank you to our incredible coaches for guiding us every step of the way, and to our families for their unwavering support. Together, we've grown stronger, played harder, and achieved more than we ever thought possible. Here's to teamwork, dedication, and endless memories on and off the field! We may not have won every game, but we certainly had the most spirit! R. O. C. K. Rockin Here @Holladay!!! Shout out to all my unofficial student and family cheerleaders.
