The Ångels vs the Mamas

In "Grand Tradition" started last year by our coach Tony, the Del Prado Ångels took on their Mama's at the practice preceding Mother's Day.
A grand time was had by all, and of course the kids let their mom's win; it was Mother's Day after all ;-)

The cast is off...no running, no tap, no belly dancing, no lunging...just walking ;-)

Louie "Jesus" the Babe Owens
SG called him "Jesus" when he threw the ball too hard to her, she thought it was his middle name.
