They Said It – Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
“It is a disappointing loss at the end of what has been a really good season. You have to give Edward Waters credit – they really attacked the glass in the first half and hit a couple of big shots. My heart breaks for our seniors, Isaiah Veal and Ashton Hawkins. They have been great seniors and worthy of signing the Wall of Honor over the door in the locker room forever contributing to the legacy of Spring Hill College basketball. After the required NCAA time off, we will get back at it and prepare for next season. We appreciate the support of our fans and alumni and friends who texted us and came out in support of the guys.”
