Coach Mike Lee was pleased with his teams’ performance Friday. “We were ecstatic,” he said of the win. “They worked very hard to get there and deserved the win. They’ve been playing better and better as the season progressed and this was the first time everything came together. It was nice to see it come to fruition.”The boys were scheduled to play St. Bonaventure in the second round Tuesday afternoon. We’ll have game results from that contest this Friday.
