Coach Proefrock was happy about the results he saw from his team, stating, "Tonight was a good start for us against a good Community Christian team. Overall I was pleased with our effort tonight, but we have to clean some things up both offensively and defensively before our next game vs. #4 nationally ranked Milwaukee Area Tech at home on Saturday."
