It was a typical North vs South game that kept the gym rocking all afternoon, the gym temperature was set at 65 degrees before we kick off the first game and that was with the 2024's. The youngsters set the tone for 2023's and when it was all said in done, the temperature got higher because of the fire that was brought on by the youngsters this day.
Coming into the gym there was high expectation, this year we went farther North. This roster had a few special player's on the list, we had Blake O'Grady and Mariana Padilla come up from Massachusetts to represent Bay State Jaguars, also farther South we had Darrionna Howard come up from North Carolina to represent Carolina Flames.
