“League Play is a good experience. I’m always willing to win every game. I always think about the competition, even before I go to school. I know the last team standing will get the trophy. When my team loses, I don’t feel like it’s the end of the world. I’m happy with my teammates and how we work together. I tell the other players, ‘Maybe next time.”
