Karyn Lu, Adam & Phil-
I am so sorry to hear about Matt. I always enjoyed when he reffed at WYSA. He did his job but he was also entertaining. I also remember he always took the time to explain to the players the reason for his call & how he help them with the proper way to throw the ball in, or where to stand. He cared about his job & you could tell. I´m glad we got to enjoy his antics.
