Coaches' Corner:

“This was a tough one to lose. You just can’t let a 15 point lead slip away. I was really proud of our kids and how they played for the first 22 minutes of the game. Give Waverly credit, they made the plays that they needed to down the stretch. We just have to learn from this and to be able to close out a tough win next time.” -- Coach Kevin Scheef.
