Pembroke Pines, Freakin CrossFit.

With the Palms entering the League in 2020 and the Breakers going through a re-brand at the end of 2019… this will be a brand new meeting of teams in the Florida Grid League.

 

The Breakers are coming off of a close loss to the powerhouse Gainesville Wild in the Season opener but gain some key members on the Female side that were missing in that match including top utility player Roran Scott, returning Breaker Evelyn Balich and a pair of promising rookies in Jamie McElwain and Kendall Canaan.

 

The Palms are coming off of a high excitement win against the Orlando Aces but have a couple key males that are dinged up in Brandon Thayres and Brent Proctor. They do, however, gain some new talent on the female side in Lily Burkhead.

 

All in all it promises to be a great match with no clear favorite and a guarantee of many exciting moments to come.
