Coach's Corner 

"We were really excited to finally open up CSAC play, and to go on the road missing some players and play so well is just a testament to our depth and our preparation. People stepped up and played with a lot of heart. I thought our defense really led the way once again, we hit the boards, and we scored a season high 81 points. Tomorrow it's back to work and we are looking forward to finally be back on our home floor Saturday." -Coach Travis Ponton
