#5 Horace vs. Red River: Player Notes

PHD was in the gym for the EDC matchup between the Hawks and Roughriders. It was a back-and-forth game early but the Hawks had too much firepower in the second half. At one point, Horace had a 20-point lead. Coach Cummings squad was unreal on the offensive end, they put on a clinic. Red River lost by 13 but they still had some impressive individual performances.   "Thoughts on last night: There was a point in each half where our offensive execution was clicking at a high level. We defended really well in the first half and during a stretch in 2nd. We need to do better closing out games."   "We are learning from every game which is a good thing. We want to be playing our best by the end of the year. We are still scratching the surface of how good we really could be. We are still working on putting together a complete game!" -Kyle Cummings   See below for standouts and player notes.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a
