Before I do a GC recap of the game I have to share pics I took before the game. We can’t thank all the guys enough that helped move stuff, cleaned around the field, and got donations of gravel. All to make our facility better. I especially want to mention Doug Kirk and Brian Ooten. But we are thankful for everyone that put in time on it.
