Most of the team had never met before the team was formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat set them apart is their relentless practice and dedication to the game, along with an emphasis on teamwork to push each other to improve,\u201d according to RHS computer science teacher Henry Vo. \u201cStudents on the team are in various magnets: computer science, science, law to name a few; some of them are athletes: tennis, football; and one team member is currently ranked No. 1 in the Class of 2022. There&#8217;s no requirement to compete nor does being in a specific magnet allow them more time to practice and play.&nbsp;This is great team.&nbsp;Last year really showed us how well they worked together.&nbsp;We&#8217;re hoping to duplicate the success this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
