Coach's Corner
"Honestly we started really slow today and Cornerstone did a great job of bringing he fight to us," stated head coach
Daniel Finn. "That said, the boys rebounded well and did a good job late of taking control. We got to keep getting better and staying intense. At the end of the day it's another win and a step forward."
