COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We shot a lot better tonight than we did against Wayne. We moved the ball and had a better shot selection as well. We are young and gonna make mistakes but overall it was a great effort from everyone.”
“… A lot of people underestimate Dakota Blackburn and we decided to use his strength and get to the backboards he really took over the game. His third quarter was something to see. Steeler Salmons knocking down five three pointers helped open up the lane as well. We are coming along and much improved for our second game.”
