Coaches Comments- “I was very happy with today’s win.  After losing a heartbreaker in overtime in the last 7 seconds to Waubonsee on Friday, I was very happy with how we came out and played today.  We showed great maturity by putting a tough loss behind us and coming back the next day and giving great effort. “
