"Zachary (Wagner) had a monster game, scoring 27 points and grabbing 14 rebounds," Winslow head coach Scott Corum said.

Dustin (Richard) got off to a good start, scoring 13 points in the first quarter."

Corum continued, "Darius (James) got into early foul trouble and had to sit out much of the game, including the entire second quarter. It was nice to see that we could still play well with our leaders not on the floor. I give Tyrell (Young) a lot of credit for that. He stepped up and ran the point guard position when Darius was on the bench."
