COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Thankful to have another opportunity to play. Tough draw as a lot of really good teams are in the top bracket, but to win it all you have to play well no matter who you play so we are thankful for the opportunity to do that. We will have a good practice today, watch some film tomorrow morning, then lace them up and go to battle tomorrow evening!”
