<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday, around 500 girls and 50 teams made the yearly Pilgrimage to the Mega Scrimmage. This year the event was held on the Chelsea school campus, a really beautiful facility.

While there was a lot of early mistakes and uncertainties, there were some amazing performances, both team and individual. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["190717"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Talyah spent way too much time on the disabled list last year, which robbed Michigan of the chance to watch some epic performances.
