Quotable:
La Salle coach, Scott Wiard: “I’m proud of how our kids played all week and especially the last couple of games. Coming back after being down at half on Thursday was a good learning moment for us. Tonight, I thought our kids did an excellent job of executing the scouting report and playing together on offense. We had great balance on offense all week and that’s because they are talented and unselfish players.”
