We played extremely well. Lamar Burton did a good job of distributing the basketball. Leslie and Ricardo Jenkins hit the boards really hard and we did a good job defensively.
Chris Hayes had a great game, just a fantastic game. He did a great job defensively for us too. It was a good win for us. Reedley is a very tough place to play.
