“Both sides came together and started to play as more of a team as the day progressed and they got more comfortable playing together," said Boys Assistant Coach Ryan Bradfield. "I was particularly impressed with the team play of the JV Boys squad. I think I saw all 15 players touch the ball in the build up play that led up to one of their scores which was awesome to see out of a younger group of guys who were thrown together to play on an all start team. The Varsity was equally effective moving the ball through the hands and and stringing together in long, multi-phase possessions that resulted in tries.”
