Game Summary
The game somewhat became a second priority to Senior Appreciation Night. Every Senior started and played over a half. Wins are obviously important, but the Coaches enjoyed the opportunity to reward four years of committment with a start for each Senior. The players responded with solid play, and it was a pleasure to watch long time teammates start and then play together.
