Today was Franconis’ second game of the basketball tournament, and we went up against Léman.
Our 4 Warriors were joined by Louis from Olympus and they played the entire game against a Léman team consisting of about 10 players that rotated in and out.
They did their best, and had a lot of fun!

They did a great job!
