As a Team

After the England trip and 77 spring season, a group of the 77 players (Eddie, Murph, Pete Bonanni, Jack Ivy, Jet Wales, Joey Bulmer, and Mac (Roy Sikes)) formed a non-academy 7s team named the "Ambassadors" (just a little tongue-in-cheek) to play in the Western Regional Tournament in Denver. We made it to the Semi-finals, not bad for only having one practice and no coach.
