HOUND BYTES
Head coach Jason Reed...
"I'm proud of our effort today. We needed to get the monkey off our back. We've been grinding this month trying to figure out how to get on track and today we did that. We're ready for the last few weekends of the GLVC season. I don't think teams want to see us get hot."
