Scrappy eighth grade end season with a 10-4 record. The eighth grade Patriots had a very success- ful year with an overall record of 10-4. The team had some very big wins over Carroll, Woodlan, and Kendallville, teams that had beaten them the year before. The Patriots were Out-sized by their opponents all year but used hustle and determination along with desire to make the team very in- teresting and exciting to watch. The team, for the most part, performed well when the competition was close. In fact, we had nine games that were decided by five points or less. Coach Minnick from: Nicole vst Mardy. Dene 1.
