Great run by the 99 Girls Elite this week! They were the better team in all 6 games and performed with incredible spirit and heart! The team beat the South Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Oklahoma State Champions to reach the Region III Championship final game.  They represented their families and SC with pride!  They lost to a very good Florida team, but the joy of the stoppage time goal to tie up the game and take it to overtime and ensuing celebration will stay with us forever!

Thank you 2016-2017
Competitive Team Sponsors!
