”Tonight was a really good high school game.”
The story tonight was two good teams met and Blair Oaks came out on top. Coach Fick does an outstanding job with his team and they were the better team tonight.”
I liked how our guys competed. If we continue to practice and play that tough we will become a solid team. We were engaged and connected tonight.”
”We were in another competitive game. We needed to make 1 more defensive or offensive play to pull out a win.
”Tomorrow night we get an opportunity to play a very good Sullivan team. I did not agree with how the game ended. We will move on and start fresh tomorrow. We will have another challenge tomorrow that will be great preparation for our district tournament.”
