Coach's Corner
"Today was a tough game. We got out toughed and out worked. It's hard to win games when [the other] team is +30 in rebounding. I liked our pressure. I thought
Jalen Cary and
Will Little were great. Derreck Orr changed the game with his defense. Credit to Gwynedd for the win." Coach
Sean Westerlund said.
