ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "I thought it was a team win. It wasn't pretty for most of the game. Our group showed a lot of growth and character. The credit goes to every kid who got on the floor. They showed a lot of heart in the second half and made plays. We executed down the stretch. It was fitting in a game in which you have to tough it out, you end the game by making a stop and we came away with the win."
