For acting coach Gene Ray, he said he loved seeing his guys fight for this win and hopes they can build on it going forward.
“I am super proud of them and their performance in this game,” he said. “No one likes starting 0-3 and I wanted these guys to feel what success meant. I am so happy that these guys get to understand that.
