<p>The defense at the Battle at the Bay is about to be next-level impressive. The athletes coming are high-level, and there will be some excellent highlight reel moments for teams throughout the weekend. I am amped to see these defensive dynamos take the court against tough competition in the 17s/18s divisions. </p>
