COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We played four games in five days and came out 3-1 so I’m happy about that. Covenant, Calvary and Grace are talented teams that we don’t know much about year to year. St. Joe is very talented and have improved from last year. Didn’t think we played very well Saturday but bounced back Monday with a nice win. We aren’t at full strength so hopefully we get another shot at them in the Postseason.”
