A Winning Team

Congratulations are in order for the 2015 Season Champions of AFC Rapid Soccer Minor Division, the Island Current Fleet team.

Prfessional soccer player Mia Hamm sent these words: I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.
