“They play a fast-paced game and once we adjusted at half-time to play more of a possession game it made it a bit easier,” Midson said.

“I think we had 15 scoring shots in the third quarter.

“I spoke to ‘Bos’ (Craig Bosley) on Saturday night and they are a lot like us last year.

“Walwa has a lot of kids and once you get game time into them they will get better.”
