High Flyers Coachs Remarks
"I'm really proud of how hard we played tonight, we stuck to the game plan and executed. Similar to our last game, we weathered the storm when they went on a run in the first quarter and we took back control of the game and were the aggressors the rest of the way. We had a really balanced attack which led to 25 assists and only 10 turnovers. Now we get a nice break to enjoy time with family and get refreshed and refocused for the second half of the season."
