Coaches' Corner:

“This was a great opportunity for our kids to play a Class A team on a big stage that felt like a State Tournament setting. The first half was a struggle, but was really proud of our kids for stepping up and getting the job done in the second half. We hit some big free throws in the fourth quarter that allowed us to escape with the win.” -- Coach Kevin Scheef.
