Looking for a competitive way to stay active in Johnson City? Practice picked up this week with 10 players focused on passing, body positioning, and applying defensive pressure, with a lot of touch to keep things moving. Intensity was noticeably higher than last week, and feedback from forwards captain Jason backed that up. The group is building toward game week at NRV this Saturday, with a “bring your friends” practice set for Tuesday, April 14.
