Congratulations 🎉

What a good-looking group representing Utah at Boys Nationals! Proud of this crew! 👏⚽️

We had such a great time in Texas at our world cup game. Egypt vs Australia on July 3rd. I can’t thank the utah state referee committee enough. It was such a cool international experience. A real once in a lifetime kind of an experience. We were lucky enough to get a gate that went through extra time and did penalty kicks. Could not have been a better time. Thank you for the opportunity.
