QUOTABLES

"I am incredibly proud of the intensity our team played with this afternoon.  We maximized our depth and got better at some aspects of our game reaching all seven of our game goals.  Warren Wilson is particularly hard to guard around the three point line with multiple threats and deep range.  They were able to hit seven in the second half.  They will do well in their league and as always they were well coached.  I would like to thank our athletic and campus administrations and especially, Amanda Kaste, our community outreach coordinator, for putting this fantastic experience together for Education Day.  It was an electric environment and the community students had a great time"—Head Coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick
