COACH’S COMMENTS
“…NBA schedule without NBA pay after playing Saturday, Monday, and Thursday all on the road and then play a good Grace Christian team tonight. It has been a challenge but really proud of our team for getting the win. We had a rough time on Miner Mountain and I was wondering how our team would respond. I thought our assistant coaches did a really good job getting the girls ready to play.”
“… I want to thank the crowd and hopefully they saw some exciting basketball and come back next time. I thought we played about as complete game for the first time this year. We had a little lapse coming out of halftime but didn’t let it faze us and righted the ship for the win.”
