"With us having only six kids dressed to play due to injuries, I thought our kids really rose to the occasion and gutted out a very tough win," continued Botsch.  "I am really proud of our kids, and we must continue to find ways to win despite the current adversity.  It sure doesn't get any easier as we have Advance, Notre Dame, and Dexter coming up."

Half of the Mules scored in double digits.  Blake Harty #10 led the team with 20 points including six 3-pointers.
