The Texas Stampede have punched their tickets to the national championships in Phoenix Arizona. The team finished third in the mountain sectional and have qualified for the 18th time in 19 years.

I was very proud of the team, said Coach James Gumbert. "We took a small squad to Tucson and asked them to step up, and they embraced the moment". The six member side finished with an overall two and two record, good enough to secure a chance to defend last year's national championship trophy.

"We have a lot of work to do", said Coach Gumbert "but I believe the heart passion and drive of this team is just now starting to reach an Apex". "All We are looking for is a chance to compete". said Gumbert.
