Coach's Take
J.C. Deacon, Head Coach
"As a group, we played much better today. More like the way we played leading up in preparation. Our young guys learned a ton of lessons this week that will serve them well going forward. We have a hard working group that needs to go home and get after it. We are a much better team than who showed up this week. It's time to prove it."
