While the results were not always in the Rebels' favor, the summer provided important reps against competitive competition. The team gained experience handling adversity, learning from difficult innings, and continuing to compete through challenging situations.

Govertsen + Funaki

Depending on the tournament, the Govertsen and Funaki teams split into separate teams or combined rosters based on player availability, creating opportunities for athletes to compete in different lineups and situations throughout the summer.
