Checking box scores this morning and seeing so many Wilmington high school kids making contributions to their college teams last night, really puts it into perspective for me. From Division 1 to 3, there were Wildcats at all 3 levels. Special stuff.

Proud of our kids. Didn’t quite have enough, but they never stopped fighting. Congrats to @FoxboroWarrior they have a first class program and it was an honor to go down to Foxboro and play them. Statewide playoff is awesome in my book. Great experience for our kids.
