Rylee Unruh, the captain of Dynasty 12 Black, expressed her immense pride in the team’s accomplishments: “Nearly my whole team has won (the national championship) two times, and this is my third championship.” Unruh herself had previously won national championships with Dynasty twice in the 11 Patriot Division, making this victory in the 12 National Division even more special. The continuity of the team, with most players staying together from the previous year, contributed to their success. Unruh added, “We have three new players, and they have contributed big to this team. It is cool now to win twice together as a team.”
Ava Testrake, the co-captain of Dynasty 12 Black, echoed Unruh’s sentiments and shared her excitement at winning the championship for the second time: “It was so amazing. I am glad that I could win a national championship twice now.”
