Game Recap 8/10/2018 -- Tournament
The Bessant Field Tournament was the start of our season. The girls had the opportunity to play different schools around the Charlotte area. This gave us an idea of where we were as a team, and the competition that we would face throughout the season.The girls played well, working as a team, and held tight to our values as illustrated in Acts 4:32 - All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
