A tremendous comeback effort by Staples sent the game into overtime before Newtown prevailed 8-7. The Wreckers helped support a good cause in addition to providing strong competition.

Members of the Wreckers, coached by Matt Bohn, are Cooper Paul, Shane Power, Ford Scherer, Devin Harris, Harry Goodburn, Uzi Greenman, Kyle Hesen and Mason Mountain.
