how we compare to a top team
in our league for the fall season.”

As for the fall season, Bas-
sani feels the Hornets (1-4-5)

cause they played in the summer

sani said.“We have gained chem-
istry within our team, learned
where our level of play needs to
be and it allows our coaches to
play us in di erent formations
and see which is the best for the
upcoming season.”
