First weekend for our JV group. Then ended up goin First weekend for our JV group. Then ended up going 1-1 but the bigger value was getting game reps, competing together, and seeing what we need to keep building on.

First run of the season for this group. The 2-0 we First run of the season for this group.
The 2-0 weekend is nice, but that’s not what matters most right now.

This weekend was about getting on the floor together, seeing where we are as a team, and learning what we need to clean up. A lot to build on, a lot to improve, and that’s exactly the point.

Back to the gym. Back to work.
