LPYAA Mites Seek High School Players to Run Practice

A special thanks to Nzoni Thompson, Evan Damp, Sean Moore, Kamm Cassidy, Noah Mohr and Ryan Kane for helping run the mite practice.  The guys did a great job interacting with the kids.  

The LP Mites would like to have SIX Blue Bombers run practice for them on Tuesday.  Their practice is immediately after our practice.  Let me know if you are interested.  I will be coordinating the practice with the six players who step up.
