We caught up with 2025 PEL Coach of the Year and Healdsburg Prune Packers @prunepackers Head Coach Gomes @partyoutfront, leader of the 2-time defending PEL Champions and 5-time consecutive State Champions, to get his thoughts heading into the Packers’ first PEL matchup of the season against league rivals @West_CoastKings. Here’s what he had to say! “As we step into the third season of the fiercely competitive Pacific Empire League, make no mistake: a massive target sits squarely on our backs. And we welcome it. Every staff member, player, and intern in this organization shows up daily with one singular obsession - to put us in position to win. Because greatness is never just about talent. There are no shortcuts. To become champions, you must be willing to give more than everyone else - every single day, in every single moment. So I’m putting nine dogs on that field… and I’m taking the leash off.“ Catch the action at Recreation Park in Healdsburg, CA at 6pm on 6/16! #PEL
