Community Spanish River HS Marches in DC Independence Day Parade
By: Gabriel Diaz The Spanish River High School Band is headed to Washington D.C. to perform in one of the nation’s most prestigious parades, the National Independence Day Parade on Constitution Avenue. As the only band in Florida to be in attendance, the Spanish River Band has been given the opportunity to put the spotlight on not only themselves, but Boca Raton. The band was originally nominated to play by U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, D-22, and was later formally invited to participate in the parade. Rep. Deutch will be attending D.C. with the band as well. The band is bringing 53 band members on the trip and 10 parents. The 53 band members have been “working on the music since May” according to band director Craig White, and “ the past week we’ve practiced every day.” This once in a lifetime opportunity that includes sightseeing along the nation’s capital is burdensome for some of the students who can’t afford to make
that financial commitment. In order to raise enough funds for the students who can’t afford the expense, the Spanish River High School band has been hosting fundraisers such as car shows and bowling days to get enough funds to bring the 53 members who are signed up to Washington D.C “The trip cost is approximately $85,000” said White. “ We have been able to raise about one third of that by fundraising and some support from The city of Boca Raton, and local businesses such as JM&A Group, The Office Depot, and Digital Media Arts College.” The City of Boca Raton itself contributed to the effort by donating $12,000 to the band program for the trip. Something which was a huge help to the program for its efforts to get the whole band to travel to D.C. and represent not only the community of Boca Raton, but also the State of Florida. “We are honored and excited to represent Spanish River High School, Boca Raton, and the State of Florida in performing for our country’s birthday in our nation’s capital,” added White.

FAU Receives $1M Grant for Dementia Prevention Is it possible to prevent dementia from happening in the first place? That is what a leading neuroscientist at Florida Atlantic University hopes to prove through an innovative approach that defies the notion that “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to battling Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other related disorders. FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine has received a $1 million grant from The Harry T. Mangurian, Jr. Foundation for a Dementia Prevention Initiative that uses the latest advances in genetics, biology and the molecular bases of disease. This grant will launch the Comprehensive Center for Brain Health (CCBH) at FAU, which will focus on using a personalized approach and precision medicine to reduce risk. Developed by James E. Galvin, M.D., M.P.H., a world-renowned neuroscientist, a leading international expert on AD and LBD, and associate dean for clinical research in FAU’s College of Medicine, this program will deliver a personalized prevention plan, tailored to each individual’s risk profile based on their genetic traits, biomarkers (blood, imaging, and electrophysiology), socio-demographics, lifestyle choices, and co-existent medical conditions. The CCBH is one of only a handful of centers in the world focusing on dementia prevention, and the only one that uses Galvin’s novel protocol based on personalized evaluation and prevention plans. “It is time to abandon generalized approaches to how we address Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia and to usher in a paradigm shift in which we begin to consider neurodegenerative disorders as diseases of a lifetime with opportunities for individualized strategies to build a better brain as we age,” said Phillip Boiselle, M.D., dean of FAU’s College of Medicine. “We are extremely grateful to The Harry T. Mangurian, Jr. Foundation for supporting Dr. Galvin’s highly innovative work, which we believe will alter the cascade of pathologic events occurring in at-risk individuals, thereby reducing the risk or even preventing dementia from developing.” For more than a decade, Galvin’s research has focused on community-based assessment of older adults from diverse backgrounds to examine the impact of physical, mental and emotional health, lifestyle, race, culture, education and socioeconomic status on cognitive performance. Using this approach, his team has identified nine distinct risk factors that influence risk of disease and subsequent patient outcomes to potentially reverse or modify risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases. Risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascu-
www.bocaratontribune.com
lar disease, cerebrovascular disease, obesity, low mental activities, decreased social engagement, low muscle mass and physical activities, poor diet and disrupted sleep. An estimated 40 to 50 million Americans have at least one of these risk factors. Galvin’s work supports the notion that there may be multiple pathways to develop AD and LBD and therefore multiple ways to treat and prevent these diseases. “Up to 30 percent of Alzheimer’s disease cases may be prevented through modification of risk factors and behavioral changes to mitigate the impact of those risk factors that are not modifiable like age and family history, and post-mortem studies confirm this,” said Galvin. “Furthermore, more than half of the cognitive decline that occurs in these diseases are due to yet unexplained causes and we plan to tackle this important scientific challenge through our Dementia Prevention Initiative.” A secondary benefit of this project will establish a shareable database of clinical, cognitive, functional, behavioral, genetic, biomarker and imaging data for researchers around the world to utilize this data to develop and test new hypotheses. “If we could prevent or even delay the onset of neurodegenerative diseases by just five years in South Florida alone, we would reduce the number of cases by 50 percent, which would spare 250,000 people from suffering from this devastating disease that impacts the individual, the family, the caregiver and the community,” said Stephen G. Mehallis, president of The Harry T. Mangurian, Jr. Foundation. “This program will serve unmet needs for research in neurodegenerative diseases locally as well as globally and we are very pleased to support Dr. Galvin and his outstanding team.” By the year 2050, an estimated 16 million Americans and 60 million people worldwide will be affected by AD and related disorders, which include LBD, PD, vascular dementia and frontotemporal degeneration. By age 85, there is a 42 percent risk of an individual developing AD and related disorders. Nationally, if the onset of AD and related disorders is delayed by five years, 25 years later there would be approximately 5.7 million fewer cases, family savings would approach $87 billion, and social savings would approach $367 billion. “In all likelihood, efforts to prevent cognitive decline and development of dementia may be more successful if we utilize a multimodal approach directed to at-risk individuals based on their personal health profile rather than ‘one-size-fits-all’ approaches,” said Galvin. “The detection and interventions addressing root causes may offer novel approaches to diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders.”

FAU’s Human-Powered Submarine Named ‘Fastest’ Among Colleges Florida Atlantic University’s Human-Powered Submarine (HPS) team placed second overall in the absolute speed category at the 2017 International HumanPowered Submarine Races (ISR) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division in West Bethesda, Maryland. 25 teams from universities, high schools, research centers, corporations and private sponsors competed in the race. FAU’s finish put them ahead of all other collegiate competitors, earning their submarine the title of Fastest Collegiate Human-Powered Submarine. The team’s new submarine, HPS Atlantic, has an innovative vector propulsion system that allows the propeller and fins to swivel back and forth and up and down so the submarine can turn more efficiently. The HPS Atlantic successfully completed 17 runs, the most of any submarine. Its fastest completed run was 4.90 knots. “This competition is extremely competitive, and these results are tremendously empowering to FAU’s ocean engineering program,” said Javad Hashemi, Ph.D., chair of the FAU Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering. “I believe we have established a tradition of excellence in all of our club activities and this will go a long way in elevating the department as an engineering powerhouse in the state and the nation.” The ISR is a unique engineeringdesign competition challenging teams to build a one- or two-person human-pow-

ered submarine using concepts such as hydrodynamic design, buoyancy, propulsion guidance systems and underwater life support. Participants use scuba equipment while powering their submarine down an underwater, 3200foot long course. Teams compete for best overall performance, innovation, speed, design outline and spirit. “Our team members worked hard all year which allowed us to perform as well as we did,” said Michael Denny, FAU HPS team president. “We are grateful to the faculty and staff who helped us prepare for the competition, and to our sponsors who provided us continuous support.” Along with Denny, the eightperson FAU team included Dan Luvisi, Declan Depietro, Mike Perry, Jesse Schreck, Ryan Kwaterski, Megan Matson and Mackenzie Smith. The team also was guided by Fred Knapp, FAU senior lab teaching instructor, and Anthony LaVigne, team adviser and FAU machinist. “The FAU team proved to be among the most professional I have ever seen,” said LaVigne. “Designing, fabricating and testing a human-powered submarine is not an easy task. FAU’s performance certainly impressed Carderock engineers and Navy officials, and bolstered our credibility in the ocean engineering community.” The FAU HPS team next will compete in the European International Submarine Races, which will take place July 3 to 12, 2018 in Gosport, England.

Local Hospital Joins STRIVE Initiative Promise Healthcare, Boca Ratonheadquartered post-acute care hospital system, announced today it will partner with the States Targeting Reduction in Infections via Engagement (STRIVE) initiative led by the Health Research & Educational Trust (HRET) of the American Hospital Association and funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of this work is to reduce healthcare-associated infections across multiple health care facilities. The STRIVE initiative brings together state-level organizations, acute care and long-term acute care hospitals across the country to improve infection prevention and control. Partners will focus on implementing evidence-based prevention protocols for healthcare-associated infections such as Clostridium difficile infections (CDI), central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremias. With 17 long-term acute care hospitals, Promise Healthcare is the only longterm acute care provider participating in STRIVE as an organizational lead. In this role, Promise Healthcare will be responsible for monitoring hospital engagement, progress, and coordinating the program at the corporate level, bringing a unique perspective to the initiative. “Promise Healthcare is proud to share our best practices and collaborate
with other organizations to improve general infection prevention and control methods,” said Charles Posternack, Corporate Chief Medical Officer for Promise Healthcare. “Our facilities are known for exceptional clinical quality scores that consistently outperform national benchmarks and we are always seeking ways to reinforce our commitment to quality for the health and safety of our patients.” Hospitals that register for the initiative participate in a 12-month cycle in which they receive education, technical assistance and support in tracking improvement using data submitted to the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). “There are many benefits to participating hospitals including free, ondemand education on infection prevention, networking and learning with peer hospitals, support in using CDC’s Infection Control Assessment Tools and more,” said Shelby Lassiter BSN, RN, CPHQ, Clinical Content Development Lead at HRET. The program, which began in June, will monitor overall improvements in infection prevention and control practices, CDI, MRSA bacteremia, CLABSI and CAUTI rates and indwelling urinary catheter and central venous catheter utilization. Hospitals will also complete an assessment of current infection prevention and control practices at the start and end of their participation in this program.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen
One of America’s Best Communities in Educating Youth to Read at Grade Level Living up to the idiom once an All-America City, still an All-America City, Delray Beach made history recently by becoming the only municipality in the state to be honored with this prestigious award three times. That feat was accomplished by one city employee, a few nonprofit organization members, school officials and community leaders – some who traveled to Denver earlier this month to compete in the 2017 All-America City Awards, which are given by the National Civic League. Delray Beach also landed the designation in 1993 and 2001. Getting there though was not easy. It took some hard work. This year’s All-America City competition recognized communities that have engaged residents in innovative, inclusive and effective efforts to advance childhood literacy. Much credit should go to Janet Meeks, the City’s education coordinator, who has been championing the cause for children from low-income families for many years. Very few public servants are as passionate about children’s issues at least publicly – as Meeks, who has been with the city for close to 30 years. She was part of the four-mem-
ber delegation that represented the City at the competition in Denver. They told the story of their ongoing collaborative efforts over the last five years to prepare children for kindergarten, reduce chronic absenteeism and increase participation in summer reading programs. Last school year, slightly more than one half of all third graders in Palm Beach County met Florida’s standards in reading. Forty eight percent of those same students were reading well below grade level and were retained. This year’s results were recently released and the number of third graders who earned a Level 3 or above in English inched slightly by 2 percentage points to 54 percent. Still, that was 4 percentage points lower than the statewide average of 58 percent. While there has been much hoopla over the city winning the award, it is important that the record be set straight: only a few people deserve to take credit for the accomplishment. Among the few is the education coordinator, who many people know as the engine behind many of the city-sanctioned youth initiatives or as the city worker who always reports on educational and youth programs. But what many do not know, she has been battered and bruised over the years for
standing up for our youth. In the early years of the International Baccalaureate program at Atlantic High school, she wormed her way to the table to make sure the college preparatory program would allow our students to earn the IB diploma and continue their studies at a fouryear university, just as it was sold to the parents. When the school district moved Atlantic High School from Seacrest Boulevard to West Atlantic Avenue, Meeks was tasked with doing a lot of the dirty work and, at times, was the one who got cursed out by disappointed parents. And as a board member, she made sure deserving graduating students at Atlantic High school received scholarships for college through the Dare to be Great Foundation. Time and time again, she donated her own money to support local youth causes. So it is only logical that she bask in the glory as some, who ridiculed her as she applied for the ¬¬¬ award, have now jumped on the band wagon to share the limelight. I find it interesting that when the City got word that it was a finalist and was invited to the conference in
Denver, one of her bosses told her to “go raise your own money” after she asked about funds to prepare for the event. One prominent public figure recently referred to the recognition as a “touchy feely” award. None-the-less, 53 communities across the country vied for this “touchy feely” award and only 15 were selected in the super bowl of community service recognitions. While the award does not carry a monetary prize, it offers bragging rights of the good work being done in our community to address one or more of the challenges that can undermine early literacy. It also often brings in more tourism, new business and even better bond ratings. It is only fitting that the City sponsors an event to recognize the leader and her team for their accomplishment. As a reporter and an editor who has covered this City for 30 years and a community servant who has volunteered with youth for as many years, I owe it to the residents to know the truth. After all, if I do not set the record straight, who else will?
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Be the Best That You Can Be! True human greatness is not measured by how high an individual rises in personal and professional life, nor in the size of one’s personal material wealth. One’s individual value is better determined by the size of one’s heart and the right actions that proceed from valid convictions of a person! There must be flexibility manifested by one who can be and do well at whatever activity or level a person happens to be, while not losing touch with others less favored! Those who may have reached the highest levels of success in any vocation or profession, must know how to relate to peers and to subordi-

nates in genuine humbleness, instead of irrelevant arrogance. As I once read, those who presume to be the “top banana” should never cut themselves off from the whole bunch! A position of authority in any enterprise does not require nor demand isolation of its occupant from all others who are contributing, at many levels, to the success of a project. In fact, such success is only achievable when true, broad cooperation exists among peers and principal in leading an organization, advancing a project, or creating some new thing of special significance. People need people, and those
who learn to collaborate with one another have the greatest chances of accomplishing significant projects. It’s from those around that new ideas, unique perspectives, and awareness of consequences can be freely shared! On the road to success, whether personal, or of a project we’re engaged with, difficulties and mishaps are ever present. Even actual failure often attempts to be an impediment to final completion of what one is involved with. Yet, failure per se is seldom final to those determined to succeed. Thus, it needs not be viewed as permanent whenever it may occur! The problem is

that too many persons give-up too soon; they prefer to dwell in gloom than to seek creative ways to repair and remake what can be corrected. As history testifies, there has been much through the ages that has been brought from the ashes into new, productive use. What is so quickly discarded loses the chances of being re-examined, restored, and even brought to greater usefulness. Yet, only the best people know this, and can act with understanding that brings the desired success!

Honorees Announced For 2017 Boca Raton Mayors Ball The Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton announces the George Long Award honorees, host committee and initial sponsors for this year’s Boca Raton Mayors Ball. The third annual event returns as the coveted season opener that honors the City’s elected officials who exemplify Rotary International's motto, ‘Service Above Self ’ and visionaries past and present who have elevated the community will raise funds to support health and wellness needs of Boca Raton nonprofits. The evening will feature a red carpet arrival and cocktail reception followed by a grand epicurean experience created by Boca Raton Resort & Club Executive Chef Andrew Roenbeck set amidst City-themed décor curated by the Boca Raton Historical Society and Museum, the live music of the Steve Chase Band and the presentation of the George Long Awards – named for the City’s first appointed mayor in 1924. According to Co-chairs and Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton Members Constance Scott and Kim Champion and Honorary Chair Former Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel, this year’s event honors the following that have each championed the tradition of bringing indelible visionary ideas and transformation to Boca Raton. •Bobby Campbell – An impassioned, trailblazing captain of industry and philanthropy, Bobby Campbell has made an indelible imprint on the international footwear industry and his own hometown community of Boca Raton. Leading with a big heart, Campbell has been a generous philanthropist, supporting capital campaigns, making endowed legacy gifts, donating to educational and children’s missions and underwriting health and wellness organizations. Most recently, he and his wife Barbara donated $5 million for the building of the 12,000-square-footBobby and Barbara Campbell Academic Success Center that will be the cornerstone of Schmidt Family Complex for Academics and Athletic Excellence at FAU. Campbell serves on the boards of Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation, The ARC of Palm Beach County and Boca Raton Historical Society, the American Red Cross of Palm Beach County and Little Flower Children and Family Services and supports the Louis and Anne Green Memory & Wellness Center thorough its Annual Memories Alive Walk. Florence Fuller Child Development Centers presented him with its coveted “2013 Biggest Heart” Award at its annual Men With Caring Hearts Luncheon. •Florida Atlantic University – With an annual economic impact of $6.3
billion, FAU serves more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students with 1,000 faculty members at sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida. The university’s student body, which ranks as the most ethnically and culturally diverse in Florida's University System, includes many men and women of nontraditional age. Long known as an outstanding teaching institution, FAU is undergoing rapid development as a leader in entrepreneurship education and as a center of cutting-edge research, particularly in the biomedical arena. FAU’s College of Business offers an undergraduate degree in management with a focus on leadership or entrepreneurship, and a Ph.D. concentration in management, with the option to specialize in entrepreneurship. FAU is home to Palm Beach County’s only medical school, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine now welcoming its seventh incoming class this fall. •Kaufman Lynn Construction (KL) – Headquatered in Boca Raton, Kaufman Lynn Construction has built exceptionally high quality buildings and long-lasting client relationships throughout South Florida as a full-service commercial construction company. Because philanthropy and community involvement are part its company culture, KL actively supports a diverse array of nonprofit organizations in the Boca Raton community and beyond with both time and financial resources. Company leadership and employees are strongly encouraged to become personally engaged in their communities by volunteering to coach, mentor, fundraise or serve on a nonprofit board. “Following two sold-out years, we are pleased to move our Rotary Club’s Mayors Ball to the Boca Raton Resort & Club, our 2016 George Long Awardee (Business Category), so that we can accommodate more attendees and sponsors,” noted 2017 Mayors Ball Co-Chair Constance Scott. Ball Co-chair Kim Champion reports that funds raised each year through the annual Boca Raton Mayors Ball will fulfill grant requests approved through the Rotary Club Downtown Boca’s formal grant application program managed to be unveiled in October that will be open to all Boca Raton-based nonprofits with needs for health and wellness services and programming. Proceeds from the 2016 Mayors Ball benefited 22 Boca Raton-based nonprofits and Rotary International’s Polio Plus Program to help globally eradicate polio and other diseases.
Redevelopment plans announced at Delray Plaza
Georgia-based commercial real estate development firm, S.J. Collins Enterprises, is redeveloping Delray Plaza, an 85,000-square-foot mixed-use commercial project, and adding several new occupants. Located at 660 W. Linton Boulevard, the revitalized Delray Plaza will feature a 30,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market 365, a grocery store that provides simple, affordable and convenient everyday shopping without sacrificing the quality standards and dedication to food transparency that Whole Foods Market pioneered. Newly announced First Watch and Zoes Kitchen will also be added to the center’s lineup. “The redevelopment of the underutilized Linton International Plaza provides a much-needed and convenient location for new and healthier grocery and retail shopping options west of Federal Highway,” said City of Delray Beach Mayor Cary Glickstein. “We appreciate this development team retaining local businesses into what will be a vibrant, neighborhood shopping destination for
www.bocaratontribune.com
locals and visitors alike.” The Whole Foods Market 365 store will occupy a space formerly utilized as a Palm Beach Gym. The developer is assisting with the relocation efforts for some of the center’s existing tenants. Bordered by Lavers Avenue, Linton Boulevard and Alta Meadows Lane in Delray, Pet Supplies Plus, Pollo Tropical and Subway, along with several other retail and office tenants, will remain at Delray Plaza. “We are excited to launch the revitalization efforts at Delray Plaza and truly appreciate the engagement from local officials in the process of the redevelopment of this location,” said Jeff Garrison, partner at S.J. Collins Enterprises. “Whole Foods Market 365, which will provide a new grocery shopping experience centered on making healthy living easy, is a great addition to the neighborhood development, and several other first-to-market tenants will be announced in the future.” There are still available opportunities within Delray Plaza, and S.J. Collins Enterprises is working to finalize the refined and diverse merchandising mix before its targeted construction start date of November 2017. Portions of the site will remain open throughout the renovations and construction. The shopping plaza is anticipated to open in the first quarter of 2019.

sports Lynn Athletics Maintains Academic Excellence
Athletic and academic success have become synonymous at Lynn University and this year is no exception. Over 180 Fighting Knights student athletes achieved a 3.0 grade point average or higher while 101 were honored as Sunshine State Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll recipients, as announced on Friday. The Fighting Knights shined in the classroom during the 2016-17 academic year with a department GPA of 3.38, continuing its historic run with a 3.0 or higher. Anchoring the academic honors for the year, Marissa Tandron (volleyball), Thalie Carmigniani (cross country), Jean-Baptiste Mateo (men’s tennis), Rosie Willig (women’s tennis), and Grace Mpassy (women’s tennis) were named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, bringing Lynn’s total to 34 since 1997. Carmigniani was the first Academic All-America selection for cross country and also became the first Lynn student athlete to claim this honor in two different sports (swimming 2015-16). This spring’s SSC number of 1,141 honorees and 177 perfect 4.0 GPAs breaks the previous SSC Commissioner’s Spring Honor Roll record of 1,039 student-athletes honored and 168 perfect grade-point averages, which were set in
Florida Launch Fall on the Road Versus the Charlotte Hounds
2016. To be eligible for the Spring SSC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, a studentathlete must post a minimum gradepoint average of 3.20 on a scale of 4.00. Participants in the sports of men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s lacrosse, women’s rowing, baseball, and softball are eligible for the spring honor roll. Lynn women’s golf earned the highest GPA in the spring semester (3.77) and for the academic year (3.78). This is the first time under head coach Karli Heimbecker that the women’s golf team is Lynn’s champions in the classroom. Women’s golf was joined by women’s swimming in having 100% of its roster earning a 3.0 or better for the academic year. The men’s tennis team had the highest GPA for the spring (3.61), and for the year (3.60), under the leadership of head coach Michael Perez. Lynn’s academic success in the SSC comes on the heels of the swimming program posting one of the top GPAs for the CSCAA in the nation (3.60) and Carmigninani garnering Academic AllAmerica accolades.

By: Zach Evans The Florida Launch had won three games in a row prior to Saturday’s road game against the Charlotte Hounds, but the Hounds would get the best of the Launch and win the game 18-14. The Hounds scored a two-point goal by Michael Erhardt within a minute into the game, however the Florida Launch controlled much of the first quarter. After the Hounds scored, the Launch came back with five unanswered goals. In the second quarter, the Hounds were able to come back and take a 12-9 lead going into the half. Both John Crawley and Kevin Crowley quickly found the net, as did John Haus after the Launch committed a technical foul. Ehrhardt was also able to score another two-point goal. Florida was able to score an unassisted goal by Molloy in the third quarter. Crowley then followed with another goal, while Joey Sankey scored his only goal of the game. At the end of the quarter it was 14-10 with the Hounds in command. Matt Rambo was able to score his first goal for Charlotte to begin the fourth quarter, but Florida attempted a comeback with fifteen minutes left as
McArdle and Woodson both scored. Unfortunately Haus, Crowley, and Ryan Brown then scored for the Hounds, giving Charlotte enough cushion to ultimately seal the deal. David Molloy, Chazz Woodson and Kieran Mcardle all got hat tricks in the game but it ultimately wasn’t enough to win. With the loss, the Florida Launch are now 5-4 and are third in the league. They play in Atlanta tomorrow before heading home to play Chesapeake and Charlotte. The Launch are pushing to make the postseason and need to start winning in order to make that happen. Last year, the Launch were 3-11 and missed the playoffs, finishing last in the league. The Launch has never made the playoffs in their history and first-year coach Tom Mariano is looking to lead them to their first postseason berth. The game was a tough loss for the Launch, but they can make it up if they can beat Atlanta tomorrow night. With a win, they would sweep Atlanta in the season series and be that much closer to the playoffs. Fortunately for the Launch, they do have three home games to finish the season out, which should give them a good chance to win some of their games with the home crowd support.
