I figured the score would be a little worse than that...only 39-30 at half. Oh well. Just gotta work on getting better before the season starts!

Yea they looked pretty lost on some of the plays, not a very impressive start. And yea we will miss Hopson and Harris badly, would of been a great stepping stone for Cuonzo
