| COACH'S CORNER |
|
“The game was almost a repeat of our game with them a week ago. Both times, we scratched out a lead, only to watch Arlington erase the lead with big runs in the third quarter. Both times, though, we answered right away with runs of our own to take back control of the game. Jake Scheef, Gavin Iversen, and Jake Ruzicka all made huge 3’s late in the third and early in the fourth to allow us to take the lead back. It was a good win for us over a good team.” -- Coach Kevin Scheef.
