"Last year I was watching, and now I'm here," Jeyvak said of the big win. "It feels great to win it. Us together, when we're  part of a team, we're together. There's no drama, there's no this and that, we're a family."

"This was my goal the entire year to get to the District Championship and win it," added O'Leary. "We couldn't of done it in a better way. 1-0, it's a great game. We call ourselves the comeback kids, because we're not going to let it slip away from us!"
