“Definitely awesome to finish up with a W. But really we’re looking for improvement, and I think we did over the course of five games in 10 days. We were running on fumes today for sure. Of course, we honored our seniors, Antonio Hernandez and David Suarez,” said coach Mark Grimm. “Tony’s been a four-year player, state champion, and a huge part of our team. David, I can’t say enough about being a senior and no to little experience, but wanted to be part of it. Unfortunately, like most at this time, didn’t have a full season. But we’re all thankful for what we did get.”
