7v7 season starts

The Varsity 7v7 team came away with two wins during the first night of competition. Elkhart Christian academy was blanked 12-0 and Elkhart Memorial was defeated by a 6-3 score. Nice start for the team, the skill was there, the conditioning not so much. It was obvious that the pace of the second game was slower then it was in the first game but all that will come. The JV 7v7 team lost both games by a goal against the same two teams and that in itself was respectable.
Next week we will be at it again at 5 and 6 pm on Tuesday.
