Post game comments from Roanoke Rapids head coach Tyler Snyder, "Proud of how the guys didn't give in after trailing the majority of the game. We got important rebounds, but still need to improve on grabbing them and not tipping the ball out. We made some mistakes early and they capitalized on them. They are a good team and well coached. We have a few things to talk about on Monday but again, I'm proud of all the guys."
