Coach's Corner
"What a great day to celebrate our soon to be graduates! I'm honored to have been a part of their journey," said head coach
Jay Friedman. "Can't say enough about G and what he means to this program's success and to me. Mo, Efe, Chuck ... are total studs each in his own right. We've had some tough times together, but I couldn't be happier for them to stick with it, stick with the mission we are on, and be reaping the rewards. We wouldn't be where we are without them, and to finish their careers undefeated at home is truly special given the history of these courts, and all the future holds. I'm filled with gratitude for these young men."
Next up for the Tars is the SSC tournament, which will be held April 26-28 in Lakeland. Rollins is locked in as the #2 seed
