Coaches' Corner:

“We were a little shorthanded today. We got off to a great start, but the rest of the way was a struggle for us. We uncharacteristically turned it over 21 times today. We could have folded in the second half, but Owen Hancock’s three consecutive treys in the fourth quarter were huge. I was proud of our kids for facing some adversity and responding.” -- Coach Kevin Scheef.
