COACH SANFORD SAYS…

• “Taylor is always a tough opponent and contrary to the score line that was a tight game. We had good ideas but struggled to execute and connect and that’s credit to Taylor. We had five different guys score with shows our depth and quality off the bench. We have been talking all year about peaking at the right time and I think we’re beginning to see how good we could be. I have a great staff and they really ran some good training this week and helped make some very good in-game adjustments. We need to continue to improve but tonight was a step in the right direction.”
