"If the game is anything like the exciting, hung on for the final seconds type of excitement like the 2/19 game, you will be upset you were not there. Wow! Awesome Game! Go Braves."
Jennifer Fuller (Randmark) - Bradley Alum 1995
"For someone who lives and works in Peoria, I want to bring my students so they can see what hard work and dedication can do. It's important for them to see people like them on a big stage. Support the community by supporting the community."
Jennie - Bradley Alum 2004
