In this year's State Tournament, the Chiawana Riverhawks were a force to be reckoned with as they outscored their opponents 74-8. Offensively, they were able to hit over .500 as a team. Chiawana's Head Coach Brian Thomas described his team as a combination of speed and power, and this year's team was one of the hardest-hitting teams he has been around. He also added that the players were extremely skilled at every position on the field.

[They are] just one of the best all-around teams I have seen," said Coach Thomas. "Super fun to coach and exciting to watch, especially when it all comes together at the biggest tournament."
