Rick Hughes:
"What a great match by both teams. The Tigers have played their best match of the season to this point. With the team firing on all cylinders it was a true team effort. With superb defensive effort, a lot of hard work, and the team supporting each other all the way through, they competed well and had a chance to win a tough match! Though we came up short we know that we have made huge strides and we know where to improve. This is a very exciting time in CCCK volleyball and this team is working hard every day!"
