ACTON 4 TILLSONBURG 2 It was only through a concerted team effort that advancing to this level in the playoffs was possible. The Tanners resident snipers, Brad Bollert, Christian Coleman, Carter Ebbinge, Matt Fritz, Jasson Lockyer, Adam McCoy, Evan Oul- ton, Kendra van der Eyken and Zach Vanderlee ensured that the adversarial mesh was well saturated with rub- ber. The defensive wall of TJ Baker, Logan McNabb, Todd Ratchford and Dylan Schouten ensured that of- fensive attacks launched by their opponents were effectively shut down and cage wizards Owen Cou- lighan and Mason Overland provided the final rubber barrier with their phenom- enal glove and stick work. Additional thanks go out to A/P players Tyler Kirkpat- rick, Jesse Keough and Will Richards, Nick Molinaro and Trevor Hennesey who when needed, provided as- sistance to the team during the season.
