“It’s always good to win on Homecoming,” said coach Donnie Jackson. “I’m proud of Demaree (King) for being named Homecoming king. He’s been around three years so it’s good to see that all the students voted for him.”
“We played with pretty consistent energy for the most part,” Jackson said. “I do think we need to guard and rebound better.”
“We have a big game with 12th ranked Murray on Monday,” he added. “They have won 13 in a row and are a really deep team that is really well coached. We need to have two good days of practice to prepare for this contest. I hope to see a big contingent of Mavericks fans at the game.”
