COACH’S COMMENTS
“… This is a tough place to play, we know every time we come up here it’s going to be a battle. It was a tough first half and we challenged our guys at half that the first four minutes of the second half and boy did they with that big run to get some separation. Really proud of our effort throughout the night.”
“ Braxton Keathley is a really good player and had 25 or so and I thought we did a great job on him. We got some turnovers and easy baskets and that what we need to continue doing. It was a great win, thankful to be 4-0 in District and looking forward to getting back home next week.”
