Coach Scheef: "Offensively, I was very pleased. When you score 88 points and shoot 64% from the field, there is a lot to be excited about. We attacked the basket, and took high percentage shots. Greg did a great job of making good cuts to the basket and posting up a smaller opponent. Max was tremendous out top on our 1-3-1. 11 steals is a heck of an effort on the defensive end. Josh Discher did a great job on the glass for us tonight, and Justin Lewandowski and Cole Barry played quite well for us. I was disappointed that we did not play better defense. 77 points is way too many to give up. I thought our sense of urgency was gone in the second half. We did not hustle back on defense and did not close out hard enough on their shooters in the second half. We needed to be able to close them out, and we did not do it."

Milliken was 12-20 from the field for his 28 points. Cook was 10-15 from the field for his 24 points. Cole Barry added 10 points. Josh Discher led Wahoo with 9 boards.

Wahoo improves to 2-1 and will travel to Logan View on Saturday to take on the Raiders. David City drops to 2-1.
