Coach Joe Bickings said, "The last two games we came out and had a really good first half. We were able to put pressure on the ball and create turnovers so we could run the floor and get easy baskets. We were also able to share the basketball around and get 11 different people in the scoring column. Next up we have a very tough matchup against Oak Ridge that we beat on a buzzer-beater last week. It's tough to beat the same team twice in a season much less in a week. We will have to come ready to play if we want to advance in the conference tournament."
They improved to 15-2 and will face Oak Ridge at 4 pm Tuesday in Delta.
