🏐✨ Grand Rapids Thunder at the Bear Brawl in Chicago, IL! ✨🏐

Hosted by the Chicago Bears, this event was a fantastic experience for our team.

As Coach Nick Long said it best:
"Proud to coach this team—hard hits, big growth, and even bigger laughs. Grateful for this group and the chance to be on the court with them."

While the wins weren’t reflected on the scoreboard, our true victories were in our positive spirit, teamwork, and grit. Proud of this team’s effort and heart! 🧡💚
