V Championship plaque surrounded by his team after Tuesday’s victory over Granite Hills. The victory completed an undefeated season for the Stallions.

Unfortunately, here we are again, dealing with another attempt to assassinate the POTUS by another crazed individual who has been brainwashed and radicalized by the far left wing faction that has taken over the Democrat party.
