3rd time’s a charm💍

First and foremost I want to thank the Lord for blessing me with the opportunity to be a part of this special program and surrounding me everyday with the most incredible people. What you saw was only a glimpse of the genuine joy we experienced all season long. The tears, growth, belief, and grit that surrounded this season was something that I have never been a part of before and will cherish for the rest of my life. I will forever remember this team for embodying Texas fight and loving one another throughout the whole process. To everyone that supported us through thick and thin and never failed to believe in us, thank you. So sad to see this season come to an end but overwhelmed with gratitude for the privilege to be a part of it.
Hook ’em forever🧡 #nationalchamps #back2back
