Mike,
To my friend that I have known and your family for most of my life. I remember one time you took my dad and I home on a rainy day. I don't remember why, but that was so kind of you. My dad even worked for you for a while and we had a great Christmas party at your mom & dad's house. I can still remember that. My mom went in to Short Loin everyday to buy her lottery tickets (even though she never won) I pray that God would wrap his everlasting arms around Lorna and your girls right...

Highest regards for Mike Berchtold. My family gladly followed his teams around the years our daughter played for him. Mike and his staff taught much more than a game or a technique. They helped young athletes perform well under pressure, they taught them how to prepare. They talked about goals, they worked at practice. Game time they were ready. They were in the moment and the moment was never to big. Thank you Mike Berchtold. You were a gift to your teams.

We won. This is what we did right. This is what we did wrong. Celebrate, see you tomorrow at practice.
