Thoughts from Coach B:
"Win or lose, all the Honor and Glory goes to God!
It's always good to get a conference win. I have to give a shout-out to TMU! Anyone who knows me knows I'm all about culture. They played together all night and that never broke. Good points, bad points; didn't matter! High character, positive energy, and playing together is what I saw from beginning to end.
I'm proud of our guys for their continued growth and hard work. It's great to go 1-0 and now we get right back to the grind at practice tomorrow as we get right back on the road Wednesday."
