PLYMOUTH, Mich. — While there was only one game on Friday at the U.S. National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp, the physicality was much higher than in Thursday’s two games combined.

Thirteen goals were scored, too, with Team Larkin taking down Team McAvoy, 7-6. Match the goals with the physicality and the sheer speed and skill everywhere, and this was a very fun game to watch. The Little Caesars kids, particularly, were often starting scrums — sometimes even with each other.

With only one game left on Saturday, the finish line to the U.S. National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp is near.

I’ll have my picks for who I think should make the team in the coming days.

But for now, here are some standouts from Friday’s game.
