“I believe we will come out undefeated in Marine League. Also, we will win a championship for Division 2,” Cortez said.

“Some of the team strengths are the chemistry that the players have and how well we get along with each other,” Mendez said. “Some weaknesses are how long we hold the ball and our passes, but our passes can get better if we just keep on working hard.”
