WI Playground Elite Polk, W 43-36 || 24:UP UA Rise, L 51-70

It was a difficult opening weekend for our oldest team.  We did not bring the effort or intensity to play at the bracket level we were in on Saturday.  On Sunday, we played a strong game on both ends of the floor against WI Playground Elite Polk.  In the final game, we had a rough first half dealing with pressure and dug too big a hole to get out of in the second half.  Unfortunately stats are not included for the game vs WI Playground Elite Polk.
