We played Orchardville in the tournament last night. They beat us by 2 points just as the gun went off. We were ahead of them 3 points and less than a minute to go but couldn’t hold the ball. We really felt bad about losing because we would have gotten a trophy if we had won. This is the second time Orchardville has beaten us out of a trophy this year.
