They Said It
Head Coach Craig Kennedy
"Tuskegee is one of the top defensive teams in the country and Coach Taylor's team showed it tonight. They got to us quickly and contested every shot on defense and on the offensive end they hit some really tough ones at crucial moments. We were in this right to the end. We look forward to our next game at LeMoyne-Owen on Wednesday. It was an honor to meet Tuskegee's president at the game - Dr. Mark Brown, a proud Major General who served in the US Air Force. All of us at Spring Hill thank him for his service."
