Keegan, a hardworking and dedicated athlete, spoke about the team’s goal of getting 1% better every week. He emphasized the importance of this mindset in their success. Chris, being a wrestler himself, connected with Keegan’s wrestling coach’s mantra of getting 1% better every day, which resonated with both of them.

As the playoffs approached, Garfield secured a home game.
