FROM COACH O:"The bees competed extremely well in the blazing sun of central Florida today," says Coach O. "The guys had a marathon. They were in contention tied up at 3-3 when the heat took effect and we were unable to secure the match. Tayler and Liam had brutal three set matches with which we split in the loss and win column. Everyone played with great energy focus and determination. I look forward to our home match on Friday"
