Yo Cody was balling. Good job, shout out goes to the other 4 players from vegas, Jarrett Solomon, Albert Tai, Niko Kapeli and Lott Haia Kahalewai. I believe Solomon lead the west in tackles and Tai was a close second. Kapeli saw more time as a blocking back and he delivered pancake blocks on every play he was in. Kahalewai managed the offensive line like a veteran and help the west get an easy win. I wish the coaches gave the ball to Kapeli more but it is what it is. All the players did a great job and represented the 702 well. Good job guys. I'm just saying....
