“The guys played GREAT both days to get a huge win. It felt really good, all the guys played well to get a team win and a tie for the individual win between Russel and Brendan,” said Coach Zach Smith. “Every tournament in the region this year is going to be tight, so we need to bring it both days like we did this week if we want to win the Region 9 championship again this year. The guys know that and we are working hard to keep things going. We are excited to try and finish the season strong in La Junta next week.”
