Prep Dig Battle Tested Attackers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was going through my notes from the Prep Dig Battle at the Bay this last weekend and I couldn't help but notice the number of attackers. Now I didn't get to see everyone as much as I tried but I thought I'd like to give you something straight from my notes over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
