Red Shift Rovers played well today at Missouri Kansas Super Qualifier making them the Alliance Captiain Seed 6. Their last two matches didn’t go their way but they went out strong

They had a spectacular season and we are all proud of their competition skills. We can’t wait to see what you do next year!

Special thanks to their parents who got them to all their practices and cheered them on during long days of competitions.
