COACH BOMAR:
Minus 15 offensive rebounds we gave up, I felt like this was our most complete game to date. Our defense continues to be our strength, but we did a great job moving the ball and playing unselfish basketball on offense. We had 18 assists on 33 made shots. Tonight we really played to our strengths which provided some great looks. Dylan Simon was fantastic. But really everyone did a great job fulfilling their roll for this team. Seward is a very well coached team with some really nice players, especially Tresten Hass. We did a nice job of making it tough for them to get the ball inside, which is a strength of theirs. We are excited for the opportunity to play in the Holiday Tournament Championship.
