The annual green and white intersquad game took place on Saturday morning with the varsity hitting the field first with the first team offense facing the second team defense. The sixth through ninth grades then played a 7-on-7 game.
There was then a break with the dad’s competing in a punt catch competition. After a break the varsity first team defense squared off against the second team offense followed again by a six through ninth grades 7-on-7. Then the mothers and players competed in a passing relay race. The varsity ended their day playing various situations of down and distance.
