The Cradle City Cicadas came up just short in Super Dual #1, falling 37–36 to the Leopards, but competing in this team format was a blast. It was an honor to compete alongside Ethan Rotondo, , , , , and , and it was an awesome experience to be part of something new in the sport.

Looking forward to what’s next for . 🪲
