Coach’s Quote
“A weekend where the scoring was much more balanced and our ability to rebound and get out and run the floor really paid off for us. We were able to extend our leads in a couple of the games in the second half mainly due to our ability to get up the floor in transition. Blake continues to lead the offensive effort, but with great defense by Tipp Baker and inside presence of Parker Neu, we are able to put a lot of pressure on our opponents.”
“It was great to see the balanced scoring all weekend and guys were really stepping up and hitting shots when we needed it. JJ Bradford, Max Vondra, Atlas Marlatte, and Taylor Bennett really made some big 3’s when we needed shots to help extend the lead all weekend. This team continues to get better as they continue to learn how to play with each other. We are off this coming weekend and then head to the Michigan Warrior Jam Fest on May 3-4 in Livonia MI.”
