Our RocketLeague WON Finals! We are FIRST in the nation on MSEL! We played against Mattacheese Middle School in Massachusetts!
Mrs. Leonard says of her RocketLeague team, "Best goalie ever, Mia, went from Bronze last year to Platinum this year! AMAZING to watch her grow, especially with her amazing aerial saves! Best rockeeter, Manny, with his beautiful aerial shots which are insane! And he's only been playing for a year, but he trains intensely.... Then.. Loudest, funnest, and messiest striker, Joseph, keeps our team together with his great pep-talks and hyped with his shrieking screams."
