Coach Briscoe's Thoughts

"There is a lot of excitement in the air with our team moving forward into this weekend.  There have been a lot of upsets in the GSAC this season and it is a great opportunity to continue to shape the identity of our program.  There are no easy wins in our conference and our team knows that.  They have been working hard and are expecting to battle and earn every point that we get.  We are not looking to duplicate a past experience but to continue to create the atmosphere and culture we want every time we step out on the court."

Come out and cheer on the Firestorm this weekend.
