All teams were at full strength. Valley’s 7th grade was up 17-3 at halftime but Burg came back down 19-18 at end of third. Valley coach seemed furious with starters so he pulled all of them for about half of the fourth. Even when they came back in, Burg kept momentum to finish with the victory.
As for 8th grade, only one regular starter for Burg started. Their coach wanted to start his bench players then mix in the starters.
All the teams played tough. The refs seemed to let the players play a bit in both games.
