“This tournament helped us work out problems with running our plays,” added Makenna, “My favorite part was getting to eat at the barbeque barn after the game against Hollister and when we were up against Fair Play and Me, Matia, and Taylor Battenfield sat on the bench and cheered for Jordan Coddington who finally shot the ball.”
