“It was nice to get some momentum going into a very challenging weekend. We have some things we need to smooth out if we want to achieve our ultimate goal.” Coach Behlmer said.
The challenging weekend he is referring to is when the Twisters travel to South Dearborn to first take on the #7 Spartans of Southwestern Shelbyville (12:00) and conclude the day against the host team, South Dearborn Knights (2:00)
