Post game comments from Roanoke Rapids head coach Tyler Snyder,"I told my guys that they had to be ready for battle and this game was a battle. This was probably the most aggressive we have played. I'm proud of how they bought into the game plan. A total team win and know we get to rest and finish finals as we don't play until next Friday when we travel to the North Carolina School of Science and Math."
