| I can not say enough about the kids and parents in this league. Simply AMAZING !!! I remember hearing about the Mayors Trophy teams when my current high school senior was only in the 1st/2nd boys division. We, the CYBL were rarely involded in championship games. That final Sunday was just another day to most of us to start playing baseball. Jump ahead now about 10 years later and the Colonia Youth Basketball League was represented in almost EVERY age division on Championship Sunday. Out of 8 possible age divisions, the CYBL was in 6, SIX, championship games !!!! Truly a testament to the level of commitment felt by not only the players and coaches but to our parents.
To the players, coaches, parents, board members, General Managers, etc, etc...I wish to thank all of you for helping this league realize the goal of a plan that was set in motion roughly 6-7 years ago. Being able to compete and represent our town in our townships Mayors Trophy Tournament and to send better players to our high school. Please understand that I could go on blabbing forever but I won't. Just know that to say that I am proud would be a huge understatement.
Thank you,
Lou DiProfio
President
Colonia Youth
Basketball League

| Dear Lou, I got you your hot water for your tea in the morning, sat with you all day, made sure the mess was cleaned up, had a few laughs, got all the trophies from the closet, sat at a meeting and listened to all the coaches, and got new balls for the tournament - and still you posted Fords as the winner. The correct score was Merrill Park 41 / Fords 37, of which you commentated for the public network. Thanks.

| Great job by the travel players and coaches for the strong showing in the Mayors Trophy Tournment.
Lou always said that if we had travel basketball, we could compete on the same level as everyone else.The years of growing the program are paying off. Never worried about the wins in this tournment, just wanted to compete on the same level.
PS Kenny, you forgot the lemon, that's why Lou forgot the score

| Lou you really did turn a program into gold from dust. If you got paid a dollar a hour for your work you would be a millionaire. Congratulations on your vision becoming reality.

| WOW.....Talk about a blast from the past ??!! Eugene Polt.....how the heck are you pal? Thanks for your kind words but I can't take all the credit. There are alot of people behind me doing a lot of things that allow me to do what I have to do. Hopefully they are all reading your words as well. Whenever you're ready to come back, there is a coaching postion available.
