“We were fortunate that the rain held off on the second night of tryouts, which really allowed to see kids at their best with nothing to hold them back,” Inter-Ac Challenge Director Brett Manney said. “The competition was unbelievable and you could make two or three incredibly competitive teams out of the kids who showed up. Trimming the list to 20 wasn’t easy and we’ll do it again next week for the 2020s, but we feel really good about this team.”
