COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Very proud of our guys for playing so well in the 2A tournament. As coaches, we are blessed to have a group of guys like this. We made a list of team goals before the year started and winning the 2A tournament was one of those. These guys were on a mission and was not going to accept anything but winning it.”
“… Offensively, we shared the ball better than we have all year and defensively we were able to get stops when we really needed them. That is a winning combination! Very proud of this team. Looking forward to going to Huntington St Joe tonight and then to the state tournament in Owensboro on Wednesday!”
