34th Annual Inland Empire Championships

34th Annual Inland Empire Championship, April 20th-22nd (Spokane, WA)






The Knights hit the road for their first out of town weekend tournament, hoping to compete with some of the best teams from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. The short-handed Knights would make the trip up North without Turner Simmons, Ryan Matunas and Robbie Rebholtz. After a weekend of physical, tough fought games the young Knights ended the weekend with an 0-3 record. Despite the winless mark, the Knights battled with the top travel teams from the region, and showed the heart and resiliency they have all Spring. It was a great learning experience for the young team, and they will look to bounce back next weekend in Nampa as Simmons, Matunas and Rebholtz return to action.
