City Council Recognizes South Orange County Patriots, Junior Pee Wee Team

This group of dedicated young men ages 10 and 11, from throughout South Orange County, worked very hard to earn the title. They practiced 5 days a week during the summer and practiced 3 days a week during the school year. Despite losing several players to injuries, the team stayed together and the injured players continued to support their teammates from the sidelines.
Go Patriots!
