The Friarbots represented Servite, Rosary, and Connelly with excellence, distinction, and unbridled enthusiasm both on the field and in the stands at the Central Valley Regional. After an excellent 7-3 record in qualifications rounds, we were ranked #11 out of 44. We were then selected by the #2 alliance, 254 and 1323, which are without a doubt two of the best teams in California if not the country. We made it all the way to the finals where we lost against the powerhouses 1717 and 330 by just a few points.
Every student that attended was integral to our success. Scouting in particular was immensely successful in providing data before each match and helping us put together strategies before each match. Media committee did a fantastic job capturing media and getting it online quickly; much of it is already on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/friarbots and you’ll see more going up in the near future! Our drive team dealt with incalculable pressure without missing a beat. The pit crew ran a seamless operation and fixing issues as they came up with great speed. Thanks to everyone in the stands for your incredible cheering & enthusiasm, you are awesome!
None of this would be possible without the constant guidance and unending dedication of our mentors and everyone’s hard work throughout the entire season. We were so happy that several of you could drive or fly up to be with us. We cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us and the sacrifices you have made for us. Special thanks to all of the parents that were instrumental in making this trip run so smoothly. The hotel, food, and all of the arrangements were fantastic.
