Benton Head Coach Ron Winemiller was impressed with how the senior has been playing. “Austin has been playing great this week. He is one of the best catch-and-shoot guys you’ll see in this tournament and that we will see all year,” said Winemiller. &Devils Head Coach Shane Garner was pleased with how his team started the first half, “Our boys played hard; we were down ten at the half, and there were just some offensive boards that went Benton’s way.” The Rangers led by a score of 38-28 going into half time.
