<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Tuesday evening, Grand Rapids Christian, Kalamazoo Christian, and Kent City had a pre-season scrimmage. Among the observations made, it was apparent that [player_tooltip player_id='336005' first='Jordyn' last='Bonnema'] is a talented player, Grand Rapids Christian has a young team and will be working on rebuilding, and Kent City had difficulty running their offense, but scored off their press.
