“We played a championship-caliber team tonight. (The players) don't want to feel like they did tonight after the game. This is one of the tougher non-conference games they'll have to face.”

Bill Hawkins

Grey Giovanine
“I think playing a team of that caliber really helped us figure out what we need to work on the rest of the year. We really picked up some things that we know we have to get better at to be able to compete with those type of teams and be successful the rest of the season.”
Chuck Merzbacher
