COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Our kids were excited to finally suit up and play a home game. Lewis County has been a very hot team and our guys knew we would have to be focused and play well to win the game. I was very proud of their effort and determination to get win #13 for our program. We have another home game tonight against Morgan County. Hopefully, we can pick up where we left off last night! Come out and support these kids!”
“ Happy for our kids to win 4 games in a row. Last night our effort and energy on the defensive side of the ball was the difference in the game. We were able to force a lot of turnovers and get some easy buckets because of it. It was great to see some guys on the bench step in and give us great minutes. Great team effort! We have a huge district game at home on Friday, hopefully everyone makes the trip out to support these guys!”
