They Said It – Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
"This was a hard-fought contest. Fort Valley [State] played a heck of a game and made some incredible shots. Rarely do you see it when both teams shoot 88 percent from the free-throw line. We had to sit Beril [Kabamba] early in the first [half] when he picked up two fouls, and Bo [Barber] was not able to start today. For playing all freshmen or sophomores we are just going to learn and grow from this."

Up Next
SHC will travel to Atlanta, Ga., on Thursday to open its December schedule against Morehouse in a conference game.
