COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Great team effort tonight from our team. We had five guys in double figures and our bench gave us great minutes as well. Overall it was a collective team effort and I couldn’t be anymore proud of our guys. They weren’t going to accept anything but a win tonight and if we can keep that attitude, I like our chances.
“…Hope to see everyone in Louisa in the Dawg Pound Wednesday night and Thursday night to support both our girls and boys in the district championship!”
