“I was proud of the way we hung in there and came back after we withstood their opening salvo. We kind of took over later in the game. I thought our passing and rebounding were the big keys. We did a good job rebounding on the boards. Coy Custer is hard to stop by the basket. This was one of our best wins overall so far in districts.”
Buddy Carlisle
“Successful farmers and gardeners have been swearing by the Almanac for many years, ... Our predictions have withstood a lot of scrutiny.”
“We got off to an early start and withstood their little comeback.”
