TYKE FLAG
It was all Hyacks, all the time, on Friday night at Mercer stadium, as the tyke teams wrapped up the evening with our own in-house flag games. All of the players were introduced and came running through the tunnel to music with some rather interesting nicknames. Thanks to Mary Feldhaus, Tandrea Jang and all of the coaches and volunteers for putting on a memorable event for the kids
Winners for the RCHFC youth raffle were also announced on Friday night:
