QUOTES FROM COACH

"I am proud of the continued and collective effort from this group. The guys have continued to fight when games have appeared to get away from us over the past couple of seasons and I know that is a testament to their character. There is no way we would hae been able to score 50 points in the second half if we would have folded. It was nice to Alan, Jalen and Zach got back in the groove offensively but we need to get better at the consistency aspect of the game because down the stretch was a different team, things were clicking but we ran out of time to dig ourselves out of the hole we put ourselves in at the beginning."
-Head Coach Adam Walsh
