Game Quote from Head Coach Boomer Roberts:
"Our guys were really locked in the defensive side of the ball today. It took us a while to take the lid off the rim offensively, but our defensive intensity allowed us to weather a longer drought. Our guards rebounded the ball well, which is a clear indicator we were playing well on D. Dalton, Kalil, Kai, and Temple were efficient, and Jacko and JG gave us juice off the bench. CJ's competitive spirit shines through tonight too."
