Head Coach Bryant Odom
On Team’s Performance At The Cullan Brown Collegiate …
“What an amazing performance I am so proud of this team! We came into SEC territory and not only won but dominated in all facets of the event, individually and as a team. Claes won his first college event and we built on our play from the Poston a few weeks ago with four players in the top 20 (two in top 5). Now we come home to defend at Pinetree next week.”
On Team’s Preparation Leading Into This Event …
“We changed how we prepared for this event and the guys came in energized, rested and focused. I am really proud of their belief in the process, themselves and their teammates.”
