District II Players Make State ODP Pool

Congratulations are in order for our fine District II ODP players who advanced to the CYSA ODP State Pool. We wish them luck as they progress through the ODP process and once again thank our wonderful, talented volunteer ODP coaches (Michael Gokey, Mike Salvemini, Izzie Mendoza, Jacob Picard, Matt Schembri, Dawn Hill, Chris Fitzpatrick and Reza Taheri) who helped to make this all possible. Once again, more District II players advance to the State Pool than from any other district in the State. You make us all proud!
