Team Fire will be returning in 2012 for a 6th season.   Our girls come from various schools including Roosevelt HS, Washington WS, O’Gorman HS, West Central, Dell Rapids, Freeman & Lennox High Schools.  This team will travel to several out-of-state tournaments as well as playing in several local tournaments.  This team has won numerous tournaments the last several years and just recently played in the 2011 NAFA Grand Nationals in Omaha, Ne and finished 4th against some very tough competition.  For more information contact Steve Thompson at 359-3911 or via email at aiathompson@live.com
