Coach Matthew Wilson: The Dragons bounced back this week to earn two victories on the road. Both games were close through the first half, but our guys outlasted and outran the opponents down the stretch. The two strong performances featured five players averaging between 9 and 14 points. This group was paced by senior Mario Awasum, who averaged 14 points and 13 rebounds. We look forward to competing in the prestigious 7/11 Classic over the Thanksgiving Holiday in Fort Worth.
