“We are not the biggest or the fastest, but when we are all pulling in the same direction, we are a force to be reckoned with,” Solomon said.

“Due to players being injured or absent, the team has been struggling but has fielded strong teams weekly and has remained competitive throughout,” he said.

He noted that veterans like Theo Edman and Seware Kangulu need to step up and assume more responsibility, and he praised newcomers Chris Bennett, Jordan Cacho, Joshua Whittaker and Tyler Lee for their contributions to the team so far.

The Games

On Aug. 22, Island Heritage Predators and Maples Knights took to the field at the Annex. The Knights struggled to score, but Kangulu and Renald Durand got multiple sacks.
