Tie For 33rd At ASA 16U A Nationals

While the other team sent parents, the Renegades players were manning shovels, brooms and rakes in the rain in an effort to play on. Mother Nature did what no team could do that weekend, defeat the Renegades! The tournament concluded 9 days later, June 15th, when the Wildfire defeated the Renegades 96 in a game that doubled as an MFL league game.
