GO AZTECS!!!!!

Congratulations to all the athletes on a great season! Your hard work paid off in big ways. Thank you to our coaches for all the support and guidance you give to our kids every day. We appreciate it so much. A huge thank you to our numerous parent helpers this year. The season ran so smoothly, and we loved having so many parents involved.

Thank you to our sponsors – San Tan Ford, Framin’ Works, Living Inline, Raising Cane’s, Blacker Orthodontics, Aflac, and DAPA. Their support makes it so the kids don’t have to fundraise all season. If you are able to utilize their services, please do!
