“It’s an awesome opportunity to lend a hand to habitat for humanity and just trying to teach them the imprtance of giving back. said Nick Baumgartner. They used that work ethic they have to get them where they are today and now they have a chance to give back with it.”

The U.P. football also used this opportunity to get some team bonding in whike giving back ahead of their all-star game on Saturday. The players on red and black teams, but set aside their differences for a good cause.

” We dont even care about that right now,” said Pearsson McKay. “We’re all getting along and we know the game is on Saturday. so thats when we’re going to get mad at eachother for now we just wanna have a good time and enjoy oursleves.”
