What an incredible night because of our seniors . I don’t know if i’ve ever had a game where every senior scored and scored all the points in the game . I couldn’t have scripted better for those guys. He’s a great kid. He’s the best teammate you’re ever going to have . You couldn’t ask for a better young man . I wanted to start him tonight . Great night I thought he answered . You can tell he had a lot of shots that he hadn’t taken over the years so he put up tonight . I was happy with him.
