TUESDAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

The Importance of a Defensive Player By Aaron Brown

 

TUESDAY'S NOTES

In regards to the 'Players to Watch' list, keep in mind that this is a random selection of players that have been recognized for their efforts over the first two weeks of the season. There will likely be 4-5 more volumes of those lists, which are not in any particular order and are not a ranking of players.   Another new article is available above that focuses on the importance of having a solid defensive player; there should also be new video highlights from this past weekend's Fenwick Tournament by Wednesday night.
