The Denver 7s tournament was played for the 43rd year at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.The Tigers relented 180 points on the day to 20 scored, indicating the level of competition in thebrackets for this event was a bit over the Tigers’ heads, but, with the makeup of each team being a bunch of forwards, it was reminiscent of the “Props ‘R Us” entries of the late 1980s, when this tournament was played in Washington Park over the Memorial Day weekend.
Jake Boselli started the scoring for the Tigers U-19 side, then added a retalliatory yellow card acccompanied by 10 minutes in the Sin Bin, andstill had time to demonstrate some of his many purported acrobatic skills on the warm summer day. Jake …
