On Saturday the Eagles hosted their 1st annual Gainey Invite which consisted of 8 teams from all around the state. The teams that participated were Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, West Catholic, Jenison, Holland Christian, Grand Haven, Grand Ledge, Portland, and Grand Rapids Christian. There were some very high quality teams and play at the tournament yesterday. However, GRC proved their spot among some of the states best by taking home 1st place! HC came in 2nd, Jenison 3rd, NDP 4th, and GH at 5th rounding out the top 5. The team not only played their hearts out but they also did so while also finishing on time to make it to their senior banquet. Congrats to the Eagles on their 2nd tournament win on the season so far.
