* This isn't just for yourself or your school or your town. This is for America (heck yeah!). As well, Team USA has dominated international play for more than a decade, having won 20 straight games in the U-19 bracket and capturing gold in the last three world championships. So, uhh, yeah, little bit of pressure. Lil' bit.
