BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"What a night for the boys. Effort and desire to get three points is what ultimately won us the game. I thought Guilford played very well, but our boys battled every minute of the game and were attentive to the small details. Great way to start conference play, but we need to put our heads down and work towards a big game Saturday at home." --Head Coach Matt Cureton
