Quotable:
La Salle coach, Scott Wiard: “I give Coach Smith a lot of credit for scheduling this game. She reached out wanting to challenge her kids before the playoffs. She had her team ready to play hard. I think they’ll be a tough team to play in their division. I’m proud of our kids. They did a good job of handling the emotion of senior night and settling into the game. We have a lot of work ahead of us in Division 1, but we are starting to play good basketball, so I’m excited for the playoffs to start.”
