The Beavers ended up beating the Warren Dragons with an astonishing 65-0 final match score. Warren’s head coach Glenn Baldensperger congratulated Corry in an interview with the Warren Newspaper saying, “Hats off to Corry…Great example of what quality time and paying your dues can do for a group of kids.”
The Beavers also competed in a first annual Beaver Brawl this past Saturday (January 20). Updates on the tournament will be given in a later article.
