Italy — What a Friday night with the mighty Italy Gladiators getting their first win of the season to begin district play! To their credit, the Frost Polar Bears never laid down and to Italy’s credit, the Gladiators kept the medal to the pedal. Team blocking on offense and a swarming defense made the difference for Italy in this one. Bring on Meridian!!!
