All great things...

We always knew it would happen but never talked about it. All of us never wanted it to end, we didn't want to face the inevitable. Sadly, the 2007-2008 Sodium Dream Season came to an end today in Honolulu. I would like to take this opportunity to say a few heartfelt thanks.

Thanks Coach Ronnie: for staying with the team this year and taking our girls to levels they didn't know they had. For bringing out the best in them time and time again. For being their mentor and friend. For teaching them how to be true champions, and much much more.

Thanks Parents: for the support even when the chips were down. For the carpools, the time, the money, the laundry. But mainly for being there week after week, cheering, high-five'n, the hugs, the tent, the on and off field encouragement. And for being there to dry tears and apply band-aids.

And mainly,

Thanks Sodium: for the commitment, the sweat, the tears. For giving it everything you had, and one more.

Good Byes: A huge Thanks go out to the following players for their commitment and dedication to the team. We could not have accomplished this Dream Season without each and every one of you.
Co-Captains Bailey and Bethany Hall, Taylor Crowell, Kristin Boone, Hannah Hartford and Dayna Carlson. You will always have a place in our hearts and memories.

On the beach, with tears in their eyes, their heads held high and their hearts filled with pride, the girls circled up and you could hear our beloved coach Ronnie for the last time say; "Team on 3..."

Keep these memories you've made close to your hearts lady warriors, for we will never forget you.

Proudly, we all yell: GO SODIUM!
