COACH’S COMMENTS
“… I couldn’t be more proud, we have battled some adversity and some ups and some downs throughout the season but tonight they really responded. We had a good team meeting after the Prestonsburg loss and I really felt everyone was genuine and got some stuff off of our chest and then had a couple of good days of preparation and tonight they came out super focused for 32 minutes and got a huge win. Really really proud of them and hopefully this will us some confidence moving forward.”
