COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Very proud of our kids for their effort and performance leading up to Christmas Break. We certainly have some things that we need to improve on, but it is early and we don’t expect it to be perfect right now. I’m proud of the boys. They have had great attitudes and have been very coachable along the way. That is a recipe for success when you factor in how hard they play. Looking forward to a trip in Charleston SC where we play some really good teams!”
