COACH'S WORDS
"It was another efficient offensive performance for us tonight" said head coach Jeremy Price. "It's never easy to come to Lees-Mcrae and play and they played a very scrappy match. I was really pleased with our middles perform tonight. Reed Shuey, and his debut was outstanding and Stirling Sims was incredibly efficient. Jack Brinkman played like the reigning player of the week that he is and had 15 kills and hit over 500."
