“We kind of laid an egg in game one against a very good Aberdeen team with a few very uncharacteristic errors but I was pleased with the way we rebounded to win three straight against some stiff competition,” said coach Drew Weber.
He said Jamestown is one of the leading teams in their class in North Dakota and Milbank is one of the front runners to win this year’s Legion title so earning victories over them was very special.
