Jakari Roberson and Colton Burns played very well. After the game Roberson spoke on the win and his guys advancing to the title game, "It feels good to advance, but we gotta keep getting better on defense, we passed the ball well tonight, but have to move our feet more on defense." Coach Eddie Beck ran the show last night for the Jr. Jays, as the Sr. Blue Jays are in action this week in Dierks, after the game Coach Beck spoke on his Jr. Boys debut in Nevada, "Appreciate the opportunity, Coach Bell has them well prepared, anytime you can play for a championship its exciting, we gotta come out ready to play tomorrow night."

Big shoutout to Blevins, as once again they are a spectacular host, and they do an excellent job with this tournament.
