COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Once again, very proud of our guys for finding ways to win. East Carter is a difficult place to play. We went in there and battled until the end and pulled out another win. St Joe came here last night and had a very talented young group of guys.”
“…Two good wins for our group so far this week. Tough district game coming up at home Friday night! Come out and support our boys and girls!”
