“Our offense was firing on all cylinders tonight,” commented Head Coach Joel Meyer of Rothsay.  “Our defense came up with 3 turnovers and we scored on all of them.  This is the second best regular season that I have been a part of.  It has been fun, but we are not done yet.  We need to keep the momentum going into the playoffs.”
