The team was Connecticut taking on Washington, D.C. in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship.
While many people from the area made the trip to Connecticut to see the team in person, these kids have a ton of support at home.
"Absolutely brings everybody together. Everybody wants to join in the fun and cheer these kids on," Tom Acquarola said. "Our boys, they're out there giving it their all. So we're all behind them. It's just awesome."
