After dropping a pair of heartbreakers by a combined margin of 3pts on Thursday during pool-play; Empire Blue came on strong during the colored bracket (Teal) portion of the festivities; winning three straight duals before ultimately settling for runner-up status following a loss to Florida Blue in their encore appearance!
11 different team members posting .500 or better individual resumes; a testament to the firepower possessed by this line-up can be found in the fact that FIVE gentleman---Daniel Magnani, Lincoln Brower, JJ Sullivan, Matthew Simonton, and Marcarlo Mannello all garnered All-Tournament distinction by banking unblemished 6-0 bodies of work!!
For Brower, Sullivan, and Mannello (all 14-0 between the two international styles); they head home to NY as DOUBLE ALL-TOURNEY honorees, having previously been recognized in GR earlier in the week!
Magnani and Simonton each capped off respective 13-1 vitae (just missed GR All-Tournament by going 7-1)!

EMPIRE GOLD REFUSED TO BE KEPT OUT OF THE WIN COLUMN!!
In what was their last opportunity of their week-long stay in Florida; the cohort received "must have" victories down the homestretch courtesy of Navin Wagoner, Ronin Barro, Hunter Rock, Greyson Brown, and Declan Mueller to close on a 39-0 run that enabled them to upend their foes from Indiana Blue and take 4th in the colored (Purple) Bracket!!
Dino Neglia would be the star of stars for the Gold contingent, as he joined the already cited "BLUE quintet" in also securing his spot on the All-Tournament squad!!!
