PLAYER’S THOUGHTS: “We came into the game hot and we had a lot of energy from the jump which helped us build a lead in the first half. But coming out of the half Brook central realized their zone was working because our shots weren’t falling which lead to them being able to over take the lead. We played a good game and fought towards the last second. One thing about our team is that after loses we find motivation in them and come back better.” Said Junior forward Cayden Parker.

OUR THOUGHTS: It was quite shocking that they lost this game. They came out swinging during the first game and I thought this game was already in the bag for us. I was caught off guard and we derailed and lost the game. It was a roller coaster of emotions all the way through.  A tough loss, that will make them a stronger team.
