His play throughout the week was a key reason Riverview secured a spot in the championship game.
"The one word to describe this win is family," said MacKinnon, a second-team tournament all-star."We've been together right from the start and we knew what we could do if we played as a team and we're happy with the outcome."First Coal Bowl since 2020 Bears head coach Sandy Kearney said the return of the tournament was an"unbelievable experience" for both his players and coaching staff.
"When I met the teams and players Sunday, I had a good feeling about the week and I wasn't wrong," she said."We weren't really sure how things were going to play out, we had some nervous bellies about our capacity and making sure we were sticking to our number, but there weren't any issues." "We wanted to be as cautious as possible so that we could keep everyone safe," she said."We wanted to make sure that the safety of everyone was at the forefront and things went well."
