Comments From Okoboji Coach Ryan Stumbo
We were proud of how we came out tonight and worked hard to set a tone early. We did a nice job of getting good looks early in the game and finishing strong. We also did a nice job on the defensive side to protect the rim. We were able to maintain the good start we had and put together another complete game. It was a great final home game for these seniors, and we were proud of the way we played tonight with everyone leaving it all out on the court.
