"We'd like to spotlight MSG John Underwood for his leadership, dedication and support of these cadets," Michelle Samples said in an email, a parent-supporter of the team. "These cadets deserve the recognition for their efforts, they have been training for this event since May of last year. MSG Underwood sacrificed his summer to be at the school with the kids every day for training because they wanted to be more competitive."
