Coach Justin Gilmore said, “The junior varsity’s strong offense and defense is a product of competing against the varsity every day.”
Gilmore said the JV did a good job of applying full-court pressure and creating turnovers, which resulted in many easy buckets.
“Offensively, we took care of the ball and our shot selection was very good. I am excited about the potential of this team and hope we achieve everyone’s expectations,” Coach Gilmore added.
