COACH’S COMMENTS
“… (ON SENIOR BLAKE STURGILL) One if the hardest working players I have been around, Puts everything he has every time he steps foot on the floor, whether it’s a game or a practice. Going to miss him next year when basketball season rolls around. We have had our battles for sure, I think we are a lot alike and sometimes that shows. Was happy he had a game like he did on Senior night. He truly deserves it.”
