Bernstein was the 2003 Rookie of the year and twelve National Event wins. J.R. Todd was the 2006 Road to the Future winner [same thing!]. It's over By 100 feet with Bernstein firing and then falling back. J.B. Todd shows how it's done with another four forty pass. Three in a row and three career best passes today. That's consistency!
