zippy-claws Posted February 1, 2023 Report Posted February 1, 2023 Keiser seems to be an almost exclusive foreign-born school, at least athletically. The last two years their swimming team came to Ocacek for the Zippy Invite, and they didn't have a name you could pronounce, so these soccer players will fit in nicely! 😆 Great bunch of kids that came up, but it's almost like they are foreign exchange program!
