| COACH'S CORNER |

“I thought it was a real nice win for us. Arlington has a good team. When they made their 11-0 run to take the lead late in the third quarter, our kids did not panic, and immediately made some plays to take control of the game again. I really liked our effort on the glass tonight. To out rebound them by 10, when they have a 6’8 kid, is really a credit to our kids’.” -- Coach Kevin Scheef.
