COACH’S COMMENTS 

“… Definitely a tough loss at home against Fairview. Our energy and effort was not where it needed to be.”

“…We have 3 short weeks of regular season left until we play our first elimination game. Hopefully we can use the Fairview game as a learning lesson and pick up our play going through the rest of the season. I have full faith and confidence in these guys. I know they will bounce back, and this loss will make us a better team going forward!”
