A thank you note from Don Guanella School:
Thanks so much for all your help in coordinating a very special event!
Our boys are not able to compete in regular leagues so I have envisioned nights like last night-to recreate the atmosphere of a competitive tournament-whereas we enjoy playing other developmental disabilities schools because of the talent level of our some of our special boys playing in tournaments like this which by the way is incredibly unique’ enables our athletes to experience what playing in a league is all about!
No Doubt the great students from Eastern U-Marple-Merion Mercy plus students from St Als-O”hara and Malvern who participated in opening round games and King of Community service schools –The Great St Joe Prep received equal accomplishment in sharing in a truly memorable event!
Thank you for all your help and Ben Coreano and Wesely Poindexter who played their last game at DGs as well as the rest of the students and staff of DGS thank you and hope this begins an annual participation of our Roadrunner Floor Hockey Invitational!
