U13 Rep Optimist Club of Paris finishes strong with Bronze win at final tournament of the season

After a season full of highs and lows, the young Wolfpack team ended the year with their heads held high and the future generation of the pack looking strong. With 20 regular season games played, our standings of 9 wins, 4 loses and 7 ties sent us to the Tier 1 Playoffs. We battled hard in the 10-game series, coming out 5-32, losing out on our chance to play for the Southern Counties League Qualifiers by three close points.

But this pack of wolves have stood out from their rivals These young men consistently demonstrated resilience, passion, positivity and determination. They certainly celebrated their wins, but they grew from their losses. They stood up for their teammates and showed compassion for their competitors. Superb leadership by captain Tallen helped navigate the team through the season. Assistant captains Jameson, Andrew, Ty and Rowan each proved they have what it takes to lead the pack. The team wouldn’t be complete without the rest of the players, including Finn, Jared, Owen, Eric, Noah, Will, Hayden and Evan. Our net was fiercely guarded by Dante and Christian. Exceptional coaching was provided by Tyler, Mike, Jeff and Scott. The wolf never loses. He either wins or he learns. Congratulations U13 Rep Wolfpack team on a great season.
