This is the first time in history the Cavs have beaten the Lions while playing at Valley Christian.
Inside info from McCain: “We contested their threes. Drinking a lot of water was important down the stretch because we were getting tired from having to get back to contest their shots.”
Post-game interview with sophomore Cole Johnson: “This win means something, and we all know that. This is the first time this has ever been done.”
Post-game interview with McCain: “We’re building a legacy here, and that’s just incredible.”
Player of the game (per coach David Ancrum): Jesus (Chuy) Galindo-Sanchez for “rebounding and playing great defense.” “I’m happy he got to play a great game in front of his parents,” Ancrum said.
Next game: Feb. 3 at 7:30 p.m. against Cristo Rey at St. Francis High School
