"The team played pretty consistent this weekend. It's never easy to win on the road, but we played like we were right at home. I've seen a lot of improvement this weekend and that's what our goal was."

"I'm very pleased with our sophmore captains. They've done an excellent job of keeping everyone on task and leading by example. They really are the building blocks of this team and it showed on the court this weekend."

Brookhaven returns to action Tuesday when they will travel to Tyler, TX to take on division one #22 Tyler Junior College at 6:00 PM at the Wagstaff Gymnasium.
