Coach's Corner
“We were not real sharp in the first half, but I was pleased with our effort in the third quarter. We turned up the pressure and were able to break the game open. Brook Stuart had a great night shooting the ball for us as he was 6-7 from three point range. Jonathan, Quinn, and Tyler really set the tone for us with their athleticism and hustle on the defensive end.” -- Coach Kevin Scheef.
