I wonder what girls players are going to be playing.

[cvcgrad]

Nothing of mention about the girls game in the newspaper. I would expect several of the LPD players to participate.

I'm kind of surprised that Tihlee isn't playing in the boys game.

[1inStripes]

This is for seniors only. That is why he isn't in there.

Ah I didn't realize it was seniors-only. Makes sense.
