Words can’t describe the emotions of seeing a family reunited in person. Thank you for your service!

I know I've put out a LOT of @AcmeCongress content this weekend but I'm so proud of what they do and the opportunities the kids get because of it I want to spread their mission far and wide. I won't lie I had tears hearing @markbrunswick1 tell this: on.soundcloud.com/OTpEfwPWHaSnxG…
Defiance walks away as ACME State Runners-Up, but their fight was unforgettable. A young squad that stepped up all summer with heart, hustle, and a belief they belonged. The passion and the talent is there! This is only the beginning! ACME State Final @DefianceBBall

Call it a Ward zone. Colt Ward delivers the hit. Allegretti delivers the slide. A 2-RBI laser to right ties it at 4. Headfirst hustle across the plate from Allegretti fires up the Defiance dugout. @DefianceBBall ACME State Semifinals

FINAL: Defiance 15, Delphos St. John’s 5 A nine-run fifth broke it open for Defiance Acme 2025. Diego Tavares cleared the bases with a triple, then tagged and scored himself. Weaver stayed hot. Allegretti and Rodriguez sparked the rally. Turf soaked. Grit everywhere. ACME State
They Picked Me: Diego Tavares (3B, Defiance • #99) 99 problems but a fifth-inning triple ain’t one. 3 runs. 3 RBI. 2 walks. Diego Tavares set the tone and cleared the bases. Exactly what you’d want from your middle guy. ACME State Tournament #TheyPickedMe #Advancing
