Casey Brown had a great game for us today. He hit some big shots and was just very active today, and got his hands on a number of passes.  Ben Scheef played very well for us also.  Max Cook has played extremely well for us all year, but he is getting more scoring help now.  Yesterday, Brook Stuart and Tyler Kavan really stepped up, and today it was Casey Brown, which is going to make us better and harder to defend. I loved the effort our kids gave yesterday and today. Jon Abbott also gave us some great minutes today after missing yesterday’s game with the flu.” Max Cook led the Warriors with 19 points on 10-11 shooting from the line, along with 6 rebounds. Ben Scheef contributed 15 points, 8 boards, and 4 assists. Casey Brown had 12 points on 5-7 shooting from the floor, with 5 boards, and 3 steals.  For the game, the Warriors were 25-30 from the line, 83%.  Wahoo improves to 9-0, and will next face Syracuse on the road next Friday night.
