With just three minutes left in the national championship, Karen Caddel reminded her team that they deserved the win.
“We called a time out and I brought them in. I could tell they were nervous, and I said ‘Look guys you deserve this, ya’ll are the best team here, we worked hard, so now lets go out and win a championship,’ ” the coach of the third-grade Lubbock Blitz said, “and that’s exactly what they did.”
The Lubbock Blitz defeated the DC Queens, 33-31, in the 2014 Academy Sports and Outdoors MAYB National Championship last weekend in Oklahoma City.
