During the 2009 tournament opening meeting, the East Hanover Eagles were very happy to accept a commendation from the Kicks4Kids organizers as an "honorable mention" for Sportsmanship during the 2008 Tournament. This means that the Eagles players, parents and coaches worked together to earn this recognition of the top 6 teams amongst the hundreds that participate. While the number 1 team received a free tournament ($500), we were still lucky enough to receive a large bag of twizzlers.

The boys ’ate up’ the recognition at our 2nd annual pool party at the tournament.
