TOWNSEND PERSPECTIVE

"It was great team win today," said Ashley Townsend. "Our league is very competitive and every team puts up a great fight. However, I think that we executed our game plan well and fought hard the whole 90 minutes, which ultimately gave us the win. We're excited to be competing in the Crossroads League championship on Saturday. I'm so thankful to God for this experience and a team that puts him at the center of it all."
