“The field was soft and the grass was very long – making the play slow.Sunbury Christian only had 9 players and Grace Prep played 11.

It was a good opportunity for Grace Prep to get new and inexperienced players on the field; however we gave the game away as we became too comfortable early and allowed Sunbury to gain the momentum in the second half. Sunbury has a scrappy bunch of girls that battled to the whistle. This was a good learning experience for our Grace Prep Girls.” said Grace Prep coach Jason Fisher.

Grace Prep’s next game is September 20th at 3:30 p.m. versus Great Commission at Homestead Park in State College.
