Ellis is happy with performance and can see his team’s improvement:
“I feel we are better team than we were in 2022 and 2023. I have played with these guys for three years now so we are really clicking. Our focus needs to be on winning our conference and winning promotion.”
With the win, the Caterpillars top the X1 Area Eastern Division standings with a 2-0 record.
