Thoughts from Coach Mayben
 
"Our focus all week was on Self Control, being able to control the controllables and the three things we always have control of Attitude, Effort, and Energy. That was evident all weekend.  Savannah and Trinity did a great job executing a game plan against a very good hitting team, defense played solid behind them.  We did just enough offensively in game one and made adjustments in game two against Streeter who was very effective against us two weeks ago."
