The best part of the HDL finals held today was that every team in the HDL  had

someone place either 1st 2nd or 3rd .  It was very competitive but everyone had a shot at winning.  It was a beautiful day and the courts and the parkwere in perfect shape to host this tournament.

The Broncos should have 6 returning players for an even greater season next year.
