The results for my teams were mixed as the Boxers made the playoffs for Division 7B, seeded in 7th position, while the Bombers ended with a [...]
The Boxers came out strong last night against the Wild Turkeys. Just a few weeks ago we got soundly beaten by the Turkeys 7-1. This time out we got the W with a 9-5 score. The last couple games we’ve played so well as a unit. It’s been great to see a team gel so [...]
