Shawn Smith offered this statement, “Great team win. Our kids trusted the game plan we had in place, both offensively and defensively. I was concerned about the layoff following Thanksgiving break but we had a great practice Monday. That carried over to Tuesday. We had a strong showing on the glass and that allowed us to get out in run in transition. We were comfortable in that environment. Our schedule prepared us for games like last night. We’re battled tested entering December but we still have so much room to improve and some things to clean up. This group continues to lower their head and work. I’m proud of them but we can’t get comfortable. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Next up is a road district game at Hancock County Thursday. We know going into that environment will require us to be at our best. We’re excited for the challenge.”
