COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Tough way to end the 2A tournament losing to JC in the finals. Hats off to them for a game well played. We didn’t shoot the ball particularly well against them and also didn’t guard it very well. That is a bad combination.”
“… Couldn’t be more proud of our guys for going to Shelby Valley and getting a big win last night. Felt like our energy was really good and that carried over into other aspects of our game. Prayers to Senior Kaiden Harris as he is battling an ankle injury!”
