COACHES CORNER
"We have a lot of talent but still a very young team," said coach Dave Zelenock about the team's takeaways from this weekend leading into conference play. "If we can learn from our mistakes, rather than giving into the negative side of the mental game, we'll continue to grow throughout the season."
