Great job Bombers on representing Texas well in the gold bracket and finishing 4th. The Bombers would also like to thank each individual donor who made this trip possible.  They would also like to thank businesses such as Brookshires, PNC, and Citizens National Bank for their donations and support. These girls are able to chase their dreams because of the generosity of those in our community.
