Almost three quarters of the plays were made this game, including a lot of the passing plays, but the wide receiver admits that there is always room for improvement.

“… [W]e just gotta hopefully step up our running game for next game,” added Landry.

“We need to stay together as a team and everybody needs to work hard, not just a few players,” said Landry.

The varsity Gladiators wrap up their regular season on the road where they will face off against the Nipissing Wild on July 19 (Saturday) before heading into Conference Playoffs on July 26.
