The Coach Says: "Overall I wasn't really pleased with how we played," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Zach Filzen said. "We just did not do a few things very well, especially defensively. We couldn't keep the ball in front of us and we have things to talk about before Saturday's game."

More thoughts on the game..."The 22 offensive rebounds were a plus and we were able to open up a nice lead, but we didn't do enough right in the second half and we can't give up 51 points in a half," Filzen said.

On Bryce and CJ..."CJ and Bryce were phenomenal and had great games," Filzen said. "Our ability to get points off of our offensive rebounds was a positive as well."

Extra! Extra!: This was the eighth straight game the Chargers have scored 50+ points in one of the halves...Friday was the fifth time this season Williams has scored 20+ points...Dunston now has 1,225 points in his career and is now 15th on the all-time Lancaster Bible men's basketball list as he passed Matt Lynsky (1,210; 2001-04) on Friday night.
