They Said It – Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
"This was a big win for us against a good team with a great home game environment. Our guys really rebounded, both literally and mentally, from our last game. This was a beautiful game for us in that different players took turns going on runs and our guys were so unselfish in letting each other go with the flow. Fort Valley made a tough run and cut it to three and our guys regrouped and took control. Today, Jayden Webley really took his game to another level. Proud of these guys and how they played."
 
Up Next
The Badgers will return to the Arthur R. Outlaw Recreation Center to host Morehouse in a conference contest on Thursday night.
