Rowland Brothers Lead Narrow Opponents In Scrappy Court Duel
Dwain Neifert scored once and Kuyper twice as our team faced a largely relative and friend filled opposition. Glen and Pete Rowland each had a brother playing for the rivals while Gullion, seen here years ago, is well known to the squad. Carl, a former Drake star, stood out for the other side, but lack of practice hurt teamwork and wind by the end. Delwin De Haan refereed skillfully.
