July 2nd, 2010 -- First of all, I hope most Heat players and parents read this page.  If you do, please let me express how proud I am of the Heat players.  To lose an individual, who was coaching the squad the night before a tournament and to go 2 wins and 0 loses -- says something about the character of the players, parents and the individuals who stepped up to lead the team.   You showed that quitting is not the answer!  So, once again, congratulations on a great day (which otherwise had the recipe for disaster). 

We need action pictures of the players and other digital pictures of the players and teams to post to our website and the Indiana Heat Facebook.  Please send to:  clamb@indianaheat.com -- Thanks!
