-Storm North Wins the Vulcan Cup in Birmingham, AL Feb 2008




MJ's team, Storm North Red won the Vulcan Cup U16 Gold Division CHAMPIONSHIP in Birmingham, AL! In pool play they went 3-0 and beat the #1 ranked team in OH South, the returning champs of this tournament from IN and a team from FL. This sent them to the championship against the #1 ranked team in Louisiana and according to some rankings, the #1 ranked team in the country,
