Checking on the voice transfer room and was admiring the trophy set up which takes forever and realized, “Hey, that’s Liberty!”

Checking on the coach hospitality suite and admiring the view from way up top and realized, “Hey, that’s Oak Park!”

St. Pius X is a team that will always be special to me because it’s my alma mater and a loyal KC Classic team since the very beginning! Congratulations on your Division 1 Title!!!

Congratulations to the Liberty Sapphires, our amazing cohosts of the KC Classic! The hardest working team and coaches in Missouri for sure! Congratulations on your Division 5 Title!

Notre Dame de Sion! Another awesome KC Classic team that’s been loyal since the beginning! Congratulations on your Division 3 Title!

And then we have these goobers…I mean, esteemed judges on our fantastic panel. I wish I had a photo of all the staff that helped run the event too. They’re just as dear and valuable. Maybe next year if we’re not too busy.
