North Florida SUPER NIT - Day 2

This was a crazy day of weather.  It was cold about 50 and wet.  The boys battled and were super tough.  Sway hit very well in the Championship game.  I was really proud of all of our boys to come up with this victory.  We now have a birth to the Elite32 in Disney this summer.  That is the premiere tournament for USSSA teams.
