team just keeps meeting the challenge. We had improvements from the
previous week, and that is our goal. The next two tournaments will
present the teams with some different competition that should be a
real test, so we just work to improve."
The team will be split the first weekend in December to attend
the Bloomington and Heyworth novice tournaments.
