Coaches Corner
"First and foremost, it was great seeing a big crowd at home with all the tacky sweaters! We really appreciate all those who donated to our annual Toys for Tots drive tonight as well, big tradition for us. I thought the home court advantage our crowd created was huge, and we battled a team that had a big size advantage on us. It was a good back and forth game as it always is in the "Battle of the Bryn's," and in the end we hustled and made enough plays to come away with a big win!" - Coach
Travis Ponton
