Each player received a certificate of recognition from the Board of Selectmen on behalf of the town. Each team was presented with a citation from U.S. Congressman Jim Himes' office.
"You do a great job representing our community," State Rep. Tony Hwang (R-134) said to the teams. "I am thrilled to have teams recognized -- no matter how talented each kid is, you learn to win and lose as a team."
