Zander (Curry) played a great game and really led us in all three facets of the game. Carter (Stewart) had great balance and Hayden (Llewellyn) capped it off with some nice passes, and excellent scoring.
“Trey Worley and Marc Warren had a very solid game,” he added. “Big-time post defense and rebounded it well. Excited to play tomorrow. Need to cap off the tournament with a lot of effort and defensive intensity.”
