Player of the game (per coach Gary Brisco): “(Lally) had a good rebounding game.”

Inside info from Jake: Jake highlighted the Cavs’ first-half defense. “We held them to 6 points, so even though we didn’t translate on offense, they never gained ground. (Buckingham) couldn’t dribble the ball, and they didn’t make good passes.”

Previous score against Buckingham on Jan. 22: 54-30

Inside info from Bryce about the season: “I think we had a very good season as a team. Everyone on the team improved, and we got better at playing as a team rather than as individuals.”
