"I couldn't be prouder of the way the boys played tonight on both ends of the court," said Underwood Head Coach Evan Meece.  "They really went out there and everyone played as one team and put together a full team effort for 36 minutes.  Defensively, we were stellar and held them to limited second chances and contested every shot.  Offensively, we played our game and worked to get a high percentage show and took care of the ball extremely well.  We ended the game by making 10-for-10 free throws in the second half, including six key ones in the last few minutes.  This was a really great team win and really showed how well we can play as a team when we play as one.  We look forward to building off this going into our matchup with Ortonville tomorrow night."
