LA Center, Tower and Potomac all earn their second Iron Mic of the year in April, with Syracuse joining the Iron Mic club for the first time (and ZBW's second ground in a row)! Summer is almost here with school ending for most soon. Who will earn their first Iron Mic of the year?

A month where some familiar faces rule the Iron Mic board! August brings another 2 Iron Mics to ZLA, 1 to ZOA, and 1 to ZBW. School has started, which means there is no better time to try and steal another award this September! forums.vatusa.net/index.php?…
