COACHES CORNER

“It was another good win over a quality Class B team.  That being said, I don’t feel like we were as sharp or as tough physical and mentally as we were against Bennington.  We need to do a much better job on the glass.  It was a good opening weekend, but we have much to work on.  I thought Blake Lacey played terrific on the offensive end.  His shot at the end of the third quarter really helped to switch the momentum back around.  Billy Hancock really played hard.  His 6 steals and 4 assists were important for us.” -- Coach Kevin Scheef
