In January of 2023 we headed to Daytona Beach, FL to face the Minneapolis Warriors in the USA Bowl Summer Division National Championship Game.

"Mel had a breakout season for us last year. He has become one of our leaders on the team and is getting better each day at letting his actions speak all that needs spoken. He ended the season last year named All-Pro and that doesnt happen by accident. He has the team's best interest in his sight and does whatever is needed to make sure we succeed.
