Coach Brent Landrum: We had a good week. It was nice to win our senior night game. It was even better that a senior, Jaeden Camstra, scored the winning run in our come from behind win versus Houston Power. These three seniors have meant a lot to this program. It was nice to see them win in their final game at the Field Family Diamond at Finnie Park. We look forward to three great days of practice next week before we head to Dallas. Go Dragons!
