ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH LAWRENCE JOHNSON
"I think the teams performed well, considering where we are in our training program. Traditionally, we don't compete this time of year, we typically do an inter squad meet. However, as a staff we decided to do something different with this year's teams and I think it worked out pretty well. It's a bit too early to determine the true strength of these teams, but it's easy to see that they are hungry to compete."
