Now, only 10 of these players will make the actual team, while the other three will be considered alternates. Those choices have not yet been made.
This is a big summer for the Games considering they are being held so close to home. The Hudson Valley team almost always provides an indication as to who are the best players in the area.
Just so you know, all games will be held at Westcheter Community College in Valhalla.
