“Our veterans had a great showing. Even though there were not as many teams as usual, there was some very tough competition,” said Coach John Bokker.

“Seniors Levi McClellan and Jedde Bowman really impressed me with their toughness and never back down approach. I am expecting big things from them. Mac Stump and Noah Barela have been working very hard and the hard work showed during the tournament. Shane McGraw also had an impressive showing, bouncing back from an early loss and narrowly losing in the finals.

“The season is just getting started and I am excited about how we can perform with some more experience.”
