FROM THE HARDWOOD
"Great team effort. Our guys brought a great mindset into the game & competed, and stayed with things for 40 minutes. I thought our pressure generated some good pace due to multiple efforts by our guys. Keyon (Pryce) & Kieran (Flanagan) created some great opportunities on offense for Steve (Breeman), Mike (Jackson), and Ree (KYREE HENRY), who gave us a great scoring punch in the second half. Overall a solid road win."  - Head Coach Justin Potts.
